Hi there. This is Tracy today. I want to talk to you about victim versus Victim Mindset and
0:00:08.139,0:00:13.349
There’s been a lot of discussion in my world this week about being a victim
0:00:14.049,0:00:15.429
and
0:00:15.429,0:00:17.410
I
0:00:17.410,0:00:19.740
think [the] difference between Victim and
0:00:21.369,0:00:24.989
The Victim Mindset is the past and [the] future
0:00:25.750,0:00:27.959
because in a way if we’ve been
0:00:28.720,0:00:31.019
with a narcissist or sociopath
0:00:31.930,0:00:33.930
We were a victim I
0:00:35.380,0:00:42.449
Think that we must look at ourselves as a target. I think a target is a much better word than victim because
0:00:44.079,0:00:45.610
Victim
0:00:45.610,0:00:52.079
to me is something that we don’t want to be stuck in it is not something that we want to hold on to and
0:00:53.020,0:00:58.889
Through education through learning about narcissists as you are doing if you are on a narcissist abuse
0:00:59.620,0:01:01.270
YouTube Channel
0:01:01.270,0:01:02.920
Through learning about that
0:01:02.920,0:01:09.420
we need to not [only] learn about the red flags of a narcissist the behaviors and patterns and
0:01:10.270,0:01:17.189
We need to suck that all in do not get me wrong. We need to understand that so that it never happens again
0:01:18.490,0:01:21.210
Not so much so that it
0:01:24.009,0:01:26.969
Gives any power to it because [that] was the past
0:01:28.329,0:01:33.749
How you move forward is how you move out [a] victim if you can understand?
0:01:34.420,0:01:36.720
after you learn all the accountability and
0:01:37.450,0:01:39.450
all of the things that
0:01:40.360,0:01:48.209
Brought you to being a target and a perfect target right? I’m [sure] that every single one of us can answer this and say
0:01:48.759,0:01:53.369
Yes, I was a target. It’s a much better word don’t you think than victim?
0:01:54.909,0:02:00.478
We have to look at this and understand that there are reasons that we are targeted by
0:02:01.240,0:02:03.240
our vulnerabilities and
0:02:03.939,0:02:07.679
In a great book I’m going to read a little paragraph right now
0:02:08.560,0:02:10.949
Love frauds I donna
0:02:11.830,0:02:13.830
Anderson raped
0:02:14.180,0:02:20.049
great YouTube channel Great book and great blog love broadcom and
0:02:20.870,0:02:25.870
Donna has done a lot of research more research. I think than anybody in actually
0:02:27.409,0:02:28.760
surveying
0:02:28.760,0:02:30.110
victims
0:02:30.110,0:02:33.699
Serving people that have been in these relationships
0:02:33.739,0:02:38.408
And what’s important to understand in this healing pattern is?
0:02:38.959,0:02:40.959
the vulnerabilities that
0:02:41.390,0:02:43.419
made you a Target and
0:02:44.569,0:02:50.889
Please don’t think that. They’re bad vulnerabilities these are situations of life that
0:02:52.069,0:02:56.889
have been there, but if we just don’t put [that] out there if we just
0:02:58.280,0:03:00.019
kind of
0:03:00.019,0:03:07.239
hold those things inside don’t make ourselves that we won’t be as vulnerable to the narcissist or
0:03:07.579,0:03:09.579
sociopath
0:03:10.099,0:03:13.599
I’m going to read some of the things that she’s written and
0:03:15.049,0:03:19.599
Let’s see if any of them hold true for you. Let’s see if any of them have meaning for you
0:03:21.319,0:03:26.379
Of her survey twenty percent say that they were wounded
0:03:27.980,0:03:31.060
They say that they were vulnerable because they had [just] ended a relationship
0:03:31.940,0:03:33.859
Maybe they were getting a divorce
0:03:33.859,0:03:39.279
They were in a bad or abusive marriage or they had been in an abusive family of origin
0:03:41.030,0:03:46.809
Sixteen percent said they needed love they were looking for love attention and a sense of connection
0:03:47.209,0:03:52.899
They wanted to be protected and they needed to be needed. I don’t know about you, but
0:03:53.569,0:03:55.569
So far. I’m a 242
0:03:57.590,0:03:59.359
Lonely
0:03:59.359,0:04:06.668
Fourteen percent said that they perceived emptiness in their life and that they had ended our relationships or been in a long-term committed relationship
0:04:08.060,0:04:16.060
And their children were grown or no longer needed them so they were lonely whatever the reason was that
0:04:17.419,0:04:19.419
attracted you
0:04:19.910,0:04:23.229
to a narcissist and you became a Target
0:04:24.229,0:04:28.869
You can’t not be lonely. We just have to under stand our accountability in this
0:04:30.170,0:04:36.789
Empathy fourteen percent said that they were apathetic and caring they felt compelled to help other people and
0:04:37.610,0:04:39.610
responded to appeals of sympathy
0:04:39.860,0:04:47.800
We know [Narcis] is like to be the victims. They need sympathy and they play into this so
0:04:49.280,0:04:55.390
if there’s a way that you can look at yourself and look at that the series of events that happened with your
0:04:55.490,0:04:58.389
Narcissist if you can look deep inside and find
0:04:59.510,0:05:03.189
another way to empathize with someone if they’re
0:05:04.670,0:05:09.490
You don’t have to help them does that make sense you can empathize with them gosh
0:05:09.490,0:05:16.900
I’m sorry that you know whatever it was but just don’t let them steal you into their story
0:05:17.210,0:05:20.859
which as we know is just a story these aren’t real but
0:05:21.500,0:05:25.360
[we] don’t know that um Eleven percent had low self-esteem
0:05:26.510,0:05:28.510
respondents were
0:05:28.970,0:05:35.590
Mentioned they had low self-esteem a lack of confidence in security Shyness and low regard for themselves now
0:05:35.960,0:05:42.099
What makes us a perfect target is that they’re going to come in and build our self-esteem?
0:05:42.260,0:05:48.640
They’re going to make us feel like we are the most special person and how could we have lived all her life without this person
0:05:49.820,0:05:51.820
really something to look hard at
0:05:52.970,0:05:54.970
Ten percent people wanted a relationship
0:05:56.720,0:06:02.950
they [wanted] a lover a committed relationship marriage family, children and
0:06:04.640,0:06:08.259
In some of our cases the biological clock was ticking
0:06:10.310,0:06:16.929
And they wanted to have a family and they wanted to not be alone all [right]
0:06:17.810,0:06:19.220
morning relationship
0:06:19.220,0:06:26.650
How about trusting trusting seven percent of her respondents said that they describe themselves as a trusting person?
0:06:27.830,0:06:30.849
and maybe even a little innocent or naive
0:06:32.420,0:06:34.420
Some of them were young and inexperienced
0:06:35.960,0:06:39.189
Most of them say they’re honest their moral the religious
0:06:39.920,0:06:41.040
Had no
0:06:41.040,0:06:46.189
Idea about sociopaths narcissists and that they could be a target of somebody
0:06:46.740,0:06:49.789
Simply because they were a good-hearted loving person
0:06:49.920,0:06:57.529
But this is the reality you [are] a target you were a target if you’re watching my channel by gosh, you were a Target
0:06:58.170,0:07:00.289
Ha let’s go for a few more
0:07:01.380,0:07:05.570
another six percent of the respondents said they had serious problems um
0:07:06.450,0:07:07.830
Well and needed assistance
0:07:07.830,0:07:13.400
maybe they needed money or a place to live they had disabilities or medical issues and
0:07:13.770,0:07:16.909
here comes the knight in shining armor we
0:07:17.970,0:07:19.860
Let’s do this flower wait
0:07:19.860,0:07:23.900
They’re following you to help you and what a blessing. That is it’s a soul
0:07:23.900,0:07:28.309
Mate in Heaven made here that just fix your problems
0:07:29.340,0:07:31.939
But guess what nobody can fix your problems?
0:07:31.940,0:07:39.260
But you and it is good to have someone [along] [side] for the ride it is good to feel needed and loved
0:07:40.860,0:07:44.689
But at what cost and that’s really important for us to look at
0:07:46.860,0:07:51.919
Five percent of the people said that they were struggling to be single parents and a long game
0:07:52.680,0:07:55.189
the knight in shining armor and
0:07:56.610,0:07:58.610
It made it a lot easier
0:07:58.770,0:08:00.770
It isn’t kind of last
0:08:01.470,0:08:04.970
the sociopaths usually buys gifts helps care for them
0:08:05.610,0:08:07.610
takes them under their wing and
0:08:08.790,0:08:16.670
Sooner or later you will find that they are taking control of the situation and trying to make it into something that it’s not
0:08:20.100,0:08:23.689
Let’s see four percent of the respondents
0:08:25.020,0:08:26.970
Say they’re dealing with Grief
0:08:26.970,0:08:34.190
maybe they just been widowed or lost somebody a family friend a child they were looking to fill the void and
0:08:34.650,0:08:40.519
The sociopath or Narcissist kind of swooped in to help you oh
0:08:41.400,0:08:43.160
There’s so many things on here
0:08:43.160,0:08:48.799
I could just go on and on but those are the basic things of what made us a Target
0:08:49.140,0:08:53.239
Not a victim take the victim speak and gone [alright]. I don’t want to hear it anymore
0:08:53.570,0:08:55.570
I don’t want to say it to myself I
0:08:56.460,0:09:00.289
was a victim, but I am a survivor I
0:09:01.170,0:09:07.010
Was a victim I was a target. It’s what you tell yourself in your head
0:09:08.040,0:09:10.490
What was the lesson that you learned from this experience?
0:09:11.130,0:09:16.609
There is a divine reason that this person came into your life and right now
0:09:16.610,0:09:19.039
It sucks sucks sucks sucks
0:09:19.230,0:09:24.470
I know that, but you have to look this is your homework you have to look
0:09:24.470,0:09:30.470
What look lesson was what did this person come into your life for I can look at my two?
0:09:31.020,0:09:35.539
Narcissus and I can say that they came in so that I have
0:09:36.900,0:09:38.900
self-Awareness and
0:09:39.450,0:09:41.220
that I
0:09:41.220,0:09:46.160
Learned from from where I was this is a lesson for me to
0:09:47.040,0:09:53.450
Build and grow and never make this mistake again. Look I did it twice, and I had a narcissistic mother
0:09:54.870,0:10:00.919
These are patterns that are familiar and and patterns that that keep us in there
0:10:00.920,0:10:07.490
How do we break that pattern we break that pattern by learning about it and by the story that we tell ourselves?
0:10:08.610,0:10:16.220
If you get away from he should he did this she did that I gave him everything by my whole life
0:10:16.890,0:10:22.910
There’s so much yes, these things happened. Don’t take it out there, but
0:10:23.580,0:10:30.559
What were the lessons what were the gifts? There’s a gift in this stupidity pneus, but that’s not a word
0:10:32.280,0:10:37.129
Sorry allergies are crazy out here obviously I am sitting here with some beautiful little
0:10:37.890,0:10:42.049
Colorado flowers around me and man, that’s making my nose right sorry um
0:10:44.340,0:10:46.579
Being lied to interact in my whole life
0:10:47.790,0:10:51.919
to the point of the bottom hitting bottom and
0:10:52.680,0:10:54.680
the disgrace
0:10:55.770,0:11:00.739
It has put me in a place of self growth, and I have never experienced so thank you
0:11:02.160,0:11:08.629
My narcissus thank you for helping me. I got it alright. This is never Gonna happen again
0:11:09.150,0:11:12.139
But in changing the story I can say
0:11:13.680,0:11:17.030
Let’s see. What is my story?
0:11:18.330,0:11:22.460
Instead of he did this she did that I can say I
0:11:23.370,0:11:25.940
have learned that I am worth Love I
0:11:26.700,0:11:29.509
am I have learned that I am a good person and
0:11:30.150,0:11:32.150
I
0:11:32.370,0:11:39.650
Don’t need someone else to validate me. I don’t need this and I am not a victim I
0:11:41.340,0:11:46.699
Want to encourage you to take victim out of your vocabulary and turn it around
0:11:48.060,0:11:54.890
Right in affirmation for yourself about what you learned. I don’t care if it was a 35-year marriage
0:11:57.030,0:12:00.649
There was a reason that person was here, and you know what there’s a reason. They’re gone
0:12:00.650,0:12:04.249
That’s even better hold on to that you get another chance
0:12:04.250,0:12:10.250
I don’t care if you’re 55 years old or your 20 you get another chance
0:12:10.560,0:12:12.590
It’s like another lottery ticket
0:12:12.600,0:12:14.430
so take it and
0:12:14.430,0:12:19.850
Don’t hold on to the past hold on to the future and say I’m not going to take this anymore
0:12:19.850,0:12:23.089
And I’m not going to be silent don’t be silent
0:12:24.390,0:12:25.440
own
0:12:25.440,0:12:32.869
What happened, but own why own how you can help yourself never have that happen again?
0:12:33.720,0:12:38.089
There are so many beautiful things and if we take gratitude into our life
0:12:38.640,0:12:43.939
Gratitude for this beautiful flowers the sky the Cornfield. I’m looking at
0:12:44.520,0:12:49.729
If we take into this the hawk that is flying by God he is beautiful
0:12:50.490,0:12:58.479
Thank you, and take away and stop thinking about the bad that is the only way we go from Victim to
0:13:00.680,0:13:03.069
Survivor this is Tracy
0:13:04.910,0:13:09.459
This is my Sunday morning message. Have a great day peace out
