Victim Mentality | Ep #40

Do you ever cringe when you hear that someone is being "such a victim"? We often carry such harsh judgement around this way of being, although most of us slip into it throughout our lives.

In this episode, I'll explain what victim mentality really is and all the various ways it shows up. It can be sneaky and seem very justified, but in letting it stick around can cause all kinds of unnecessary pain and suffering.

While many of us have been victimized at some point in our lives, we can use the feelings we experienced then to re-create suffering now. It pretends to be useful and true, but is hurting you more than anyone.

Tune in to see if you sometimes experience victim mentality, and learn how you can get yourself back to the powerful person you are.
