Too often, we allow our psyche to control our lives. We become prisoners of our own minds and victims of our own circumstances. In this episode, John shares an important message about six ways to recognize we are playing the victim and seven steps to overcome our victim mentality and live intentionally. What I Discuss About Playing the Victim By nature, nobody is a victim. Playing the victim is not a psychological feature but rather a learned behavior. Most of the time, those with victim mentalities go through trauma or difficult situations without developing better-coping skills. In fact, this is referred described by psychologists as "learned helplessness," a condition in which people who have experienced terrible events feel helpless to get out of their predicament.
