Emotional Manipulators Do This to Keep T...

Lisa A. Romano
About this episode

Emotional manipulators rely on DARVO, which is an acronym for deny, attack, and reverse victim-offender roles. If you have ever been involved with a narcissist, overtime you noticed a pervasive pattern of denying they did anything wrong. Even when you are convinced you are right, somehow, a narcissist is able to play the victim. IF this happens often enough, a target can develop CPTSD, anxiety, crippling self doubt, and depression. Victims of narcissistic abuse can also isolate as they no longer trust their version of reality. 

Lisa A. Romano is a renowned Life Coach and expert in emotional regulation, codependency recovery, and narcissistic abuse. She develops systematic, re-performable trainings that assist people with regaining their sense of self, identity, and confidence in their decision-making faculties and perception of reality. In this episode, you will learn about DARVO and how to avoid being pulled into this crazymaking behavior. 

Lisa is the founder of Conscious Healing Academy, a three-part coaching system centered on raising students' consciousness beyond the level of the subconscious and the neurological consequences of emotional trauma, for the opportunity to access the authentic self.
