How to Make the Dynamic Shift from Victim to Empowerment

Part 4 of 5: What Victim Mentality Is and How to Overcome It

When I first learned of it, it explained so much of the dynamics of my life – within all of my relationships. If you’ve had dysfunctional relationships at any point, it…

But by age 8, diagnosed with asthma, she spent more time sitting on the sidelines,…

7 Powerful Strategies to Get Out of Victim Mentality

Part 3 of 5: What Victim Mentality Is and How to Overcome It



1. Realize you have victim mentality

This mentality can be super hard to see because it's deeply entrenched. Having this mentality  doesn't mean you're bad or weak. You've internalized a mode of thinking that was useful to you at one time, likely because you were victimized somehow.

Breaking Free from Victim Mentality: How to Discover Choices and Get Freedom

Part 2 of 5: What Victim Mentality Is and How to Overcome It

If you have the mentality of victimhood, you likely got it from being victimized in some way. For me, it was from growing up with the dysfunction of my childhood. It wasn’t something egregious like being kidnapped; it was the continual drip-drip-drip of emotional invalidation and abandonment I experienced.

Stop Thinking Things Should Be a Certain Way - How to Get to Acceptance

If you’re constantly pissed off at things like the barista getting your coffee order wrong or that there’s traffic on the highway, you might need to learn acceptance.

That was my problem for most of my life. Once I started to understand that lack of acceptance was my problem, things began to change. I came to understand that it wasn’t the coffee order or the traffic – it was my thinking was the source of all my problems.
