What holds a person back the most? When they play the victim. What keeps a hurt person from healing? Again it’s being the victim.
The victim mindset robs a person of their power, of their own agency. They get lost in the belief that that event shouldn’t have happened to them. While they maybe right, it shouldn’t, they miss that it did. While it wasn’t pleasant and may have been scary or unwanted they are stronger for it.
We have a choice to take the skills that we learned and grow with them or we can play small so it doesn’t happen again. Which one will serve you the most?
