01. Victim Consciousness Self-Reflection

This self-reflection helps deepen your conscious awareness of any victim patterns you may be involved or engaged in so you may start choosing where and how to manage yourself and your precious energy. 

As you learn about the victim consciousness game in yourself, you may likely begin to acknowledge and reflect on the many victim patterns and conditioning within those around you as well.

Before proceeding with this self-reflection, please make yourself acquainted with what victim consciousness is and how it can play out in your life. Remember, this information is not defining you as a person, it is simply acknowledging patterns of manipulation that you may or may not know about or engage in, that are overall disempowering.

 

Stay curious as you acknowledge any triggers that come up for you along the way.  These triggers are doorways into understanding yourself more deeply and may be areas to focus on for reclaiming your power.

 

You may realize how much you play the game or how often others wrap you into playing with them. Go gentle as you reflect on these patterns. In time, you will recognize more and more which may change how you desire to relate to others and bring your attention to much needed healthy boundaries.

 

Reflect on the victim consciousness self-reflection prompts below for ~5-20 minutes, for the next 2-3 days. *Unless otherwise directed.

  • Acknowledge whatever you may be aware of at this time with curiosity. 
  • Perform this self-reflection again in about 4 weeks to assess your progress and to gather any new information to continue to support you and your greatest good.
  • Optionally, use your testing technique to determine your optimal frequency and duration to use this reflection.
