| 0:00.0 | I'm Jody Moore at Bold New Mom. This is episode number 79, Victim Mentality. |
| 0:09.1 | This is Bold New Mom, a podcast for women and some of my favorite men on the planet, |
| 0:14.9 | who understand that the best gift they can give their children or anyone else is a happy, |
| 0:20.0 | healthy, thriving mother. If you're ready to be bold and you're ready to be a new version of you, |
| 0:26.4 | you're in the right place. Hey everybody, thanks for joining me today for episode 79. |
| 0:33.5 | Super excited to be talking with you today on the podcast. I want to talk to you about |
| 0:39.6 | Victim Mentality today. I want to talk to, well everybody, but for some of you, you may wonder if |
| 0:48.6 | you are identifying at times as a victim. And actually we all do at times identify as victims. |
| 0:54.8 | But for some people it becomes a learned personality trait. And for others of you, you may have |
| 1:00.0 | people in your life who, whether you realize it or not, are identifying as a victim. So I think |
| 1:06.6 | either way, this information can be really useful because first of all, if it's you that's identifying |
| 1:12.8 | as a victim, I want you to have some awareness. The awareness alone can start to shift things and |
| 1:18.1 | I'm going to give you some other helpful tips about how to move out of that mentality. And if |
| 1:25.2 | it's somebody in your life, then having an understanding of what's going on for them can really |
| 1:30.5 | help you to feel less frustrated and resistant and more compassionate and at the same time know what |
| 1:36.9 | to do. So let's do that. How does that sound? All right. I'm going to first of all start by defining |
| 1:47.5 | victim mentality. And the way I'm going to define it is based on my own understanding and working |
| 1:53.9 | with clients and people as well as some information taken from an article, which I will post in the |
| 2:01.4 | show notes. The author is Paula Durlowski, I think. Anyway, so victim mentality is a learned |
| 2:12.6 | personality trait. This is very good news because anything that's learned can be unlearned if we choose. |
| 2:20.4 | So it is not something that people are born with, which is interesting because when I look at my |
| 2:27.5 | one year old and my three year old, they certainly seem like they have victim mentality. But |
