Is there someone in your life that you think is the cause of your pain? Is there someone in your life that you feel is really causing you a lot of trouble? Now, here’s a hint. It’s completely abdicating responsibility for how we feel because of some powerful perpetrator in our life. Now, they don’t see it as blame, they see it as just an explanation as to why they’re miserable is someone else’s fault, if their husband ran the business better, if their husband hadn’t abused them years ago, if they didn’t have such a nightmare of a boss … Right? Looking at other people and giving them all the power for how we feel is the victim mentality. The main way that I see the victim mentality show up in my clients is with blame. One of the things that’s really important to remember is that when you identify as a victim, you are losing all of your power, and it really affects the way that you live in your life. Now, be careful because it’s sometimes pretty sneaky because it’s justified, especially if you’ve been harmed in some way in your past, you may really identify with being as a victim and not even realize it. I’m going to describe what it is so you can have a look at maybe if you have it in your own life. I thought I was very strong, capable woman, “How could I possibly have this victim mentality?”, but I totally did. I know for so many years, I had the victim mentality and of course I didn’t realize it. There’s so many of my clients that I work with that would never present with, “Hey, I’m a victim.” Most of us don’t choose that consciously. Now, the victim mentality, many of us have don’t realize it. That being said, let’s talk about the difference between the victim mentality and vulnerability. If you have comments for me, if you have questions for me, if you have things you’d like me to cover on this show, or you just have something specific you would like a little coaching on, I am happy to do it over there in the comments and would love if you would be willing to practice with me over there. The comment that you make has to be approved because I have 5,000 things of spam, but I will respond to every single comment that is made there.

On the podcast, I am taking comments and I am learning how to interact over there. It was just a decision I made years ago and I’ve never done it.
