All of us have moments when we feel like a victim. A part of us finds some relief or validation in identifying this way. But for some people, victim mentality becomes a dominant personality trait leaving them constantly delegating responsibility for their emotional lives to people and things outside of them. Today I’m sharing with you a little more info about victim mentality so that you can take a look at yourself and see if you live in this neighborhood at times, or better understand the person in your life who feels this way. Of course I’ll be giving you suggestions about what to do in either case as well.

Jody, I feel like you were coaching just me on this one! That was exactly what I needed for me and my loved ones. Your insight, grace, honesty, humor, and optimism always bring light, no matter how painful the subject matter seems like it might be (I occasionally get nervous before listening, like “Is this going to hurt? Am I going to be flooded with guilt? Overwhelmed by anxiety? But then I remember “This is Jody. She’s got me covered. And you always do). I’ve been listening since the beginning, yet continue to be amazed by you!
Ahh Marci I love your guts. Thanks for the kind words.
