Stop Rehearsing Your Suffering
You can spend your whole life being right about being wronged, and spend your whole life stuck there. Many of us were dealt a rough hand — families that wanted kids but didn't want to parent, relationships that ended in betrayal, childhoods marked by neglect, chaos, or emotional abandonment. Your grief is valid. Your anger is valid. But staying permanently identified with your pain is costing you more than you realize. In this video, Dr. Shanté breaks down the three hidden costs of staying in the role of the perpetual victim and introduces a powerful reframe to facilitate healing: you are not the victim, you are not the villain. You are the author. You may not have chosen the first chapter, but you still have the power to write the rest of the story.
