Step 4 - The Essential Boundary
IN THIS LESSON
Lesson Overview
Understanding the distinction between always being a victim and being victimized is crucial for personal growth and empowerment. While being victimized refers to experiencing harm or injustice, always being a victim implies adopting a perpetual victim mentality, where one sees themselves as powerless and blames external factors for their circumstances. Recognizing victimization is essential for seeking support, healing, and asserting boundaries. However, perpetually identifying as a victim can hinder resilience and personal agency. Differentiating between the two allows individuals to acknowledge past experiences without letting them define their present and future, fostering a sense of empowerment and resilience.
