We live in such challenging times, it is tempting for people to lapse into feeling like a victim. In Emotional Freedom I discuss "The Victim" and how to compassionately deal with coworkers, family, and friends who lapse into this mode. I also discuss ways to notice these tendencies in ourselves too. We may not mean to become a victim, we may even "know better," but still we do. The beauty of emotional freedom is that we can recognize this lapse quickly and take positive steps to remedy the situation. However, many people aren’t aware of being stuck in victim mode, nor do they know how draining they can be. It’s important to learn strategies for kindly but firmly setting limits with the "victims" in your life.
Hope you enjoy my new You Tube video on "How to Deal with a Victim."

I watched several of your videos from Emotional Victim. Very helpful. I watched the video regarding empathic intuition. I laughed out loud when you mentioned that you always needed your car. I have been like that all my life. I am never without my car. When I have to go, I have to go. Thank you for explaining and giving a name to "just how I am" I see now that those ways described are in fact acts of self loving kindness.
