Do You Have Victim Mentality?
5 Comments
Wow. i also stumbled into this website yesterday and i am hooked. I was abused as a young girl and like Dottie God has been my only hope and the solid rock that has kept me from tipping and falling. I try and not think of myself as a victim but I think i am living a victimised life. I have social anxiety and sometimes this puts alot of limits to my life and keeps me in bondage and denies me the life i wish for . i know fears has limits. Am answering the questions you asked us to answer and I am believing through the support of all these brave hearts and with God, I can finally be free! I am filled with gratitude for your creation of this community and for every member who is sharing and helping empower other women. Blessing to you all. Dear Dr. Pamela, I have just stumbled onto this web site. I have in my 60+yrs suffered from sexual trauma at age 4. was sexually engaged at age 15, married at 16 by age 23 had 4 children lived mental and physical abuse for about 30 yrs. after 44yrs. of marriage to the same man things have calmed down a lot but the scars are deep and with 3 of my 4 grown children are Bipolar only God knows the load I carry. I try to be positive and a strong faith in God has brought me through much deep suffering, grief and tradgedy. Every year about this time of year I really have a lot of ghost to fight. I don't know what it is to play. The only real joy I have ever found is in serving the Lord Jesus Christ. And my grandchildren [ ages 25 to 4 ]. And I know I am blessed. I hope to find some help, I've had to be strong for so many people and still do, but people don't see all the pain I carry inside. I think sometimes I am really crumbling and falling apart. The constant nagging over petty little things are hitting on these bruises[ emotionally]. Dr. Pamela: I whole heartedly say yes! We can replace that victim mentality with both responsibility for our actions and a belief that we are indeed co-creative of our destinies. I believe that when we stop identifying ourselves as victims we are victorious, unstoppable, and invincible. What would happen to our world if all women everywhere no longer bought into any concept of being a victim? Thank you for sharing this post. I invite you to read my blog, "Crows Calling all Courageous Women". Mari Selby Hi Dr. Pamela, I'm glad you remind us to look for those times when we act as though we're victims. You wisely point out that we're not to blame ourselves for a collective mindset into which we've been born -- but that we are responsible when it comes to making the choice to become conscious of it and change it. Keep on doing the good work! Yours, Chickee Hello Dr Pamela...Thanks for the reminder! It has taken me years to accept Struggle as an Opportunity for Growth...to automatically acknowledge and embrace the Blessings that Result! Sometimes I still forget to Recognize how I am Co-Creating those same challenges so.... I Thank you for the nudge in an alternative direction! Cheers filled with Gratitude, Anne
