Are we living in a victim culture? Cognitive psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman thinks so - and his new book "Rise Above" is the antidote we desperately need. In this Habits and Hustle episode, Scott and I dive into what separates those who rise above their circumstances from those who stay stuck. We discuss the difference between being victimized and having a victim mindset, explain why vulnerable narcissism is worse than grandiose narcissism, and reveal how "affirming therapy" might actually be keeping people trapped. Plus, Kaufman shares his sailboat model of self-actualization and why psychological flexibility is the key to resilience.

In today's episode, Gina discusses the value of assuming a volunteer mindset in contrast to a victim mindset. The victim mindset is characterized by the idea that the feelings, sensations and thoughts we encounter are being done to us, and that we have no choice and no power in the matter. The volunteer mindset is characterized by a willingness to face and accept the challenges that our lives in the world bring to us. Gina offers suggestions for making the transition from victim mindset to volunteer mindset.Please visit our Sponsor Page to find all the links and codes for our awesome sponsors!https://www.theanxietycoachespodcast.com/sponsors/ Thank you for supporting The Anxiety Coaches Podcast.

This discussion explores how our perceptions of feelings, sensations, and thoughts often lead us to adopt a victim mindset, feeling as if life's challenges are acting upon us rather than being experiences we can navigate. Recognizing this mindset is the first step toward empowerment, as it often leads to feelings of helplessness, contributing to both anxiety and depression.I emphasize the importance of awareness in this journey; acknowledging that we are not inherently broken or victimized by our circumstances, but rather we have the ability to reframe our experiences. Drawing from the wisdom of Viktor Frankl, I remind listeners that true power lies in our capacity to choose. While anxiety can be consuming, it's crucial to remember that we can alter the narrative from being passive recipients of our fears to actively engaging with them as volunteers.The discussion transitions into exploring what this “volunteer” mindset entails. I encourage listeners to embrace life's challenges with courage, facing fears head-on instead of succumbing to overwhelming feelings of being victimized by life's circumstances. By accepting our situation while also acknowledging our ability to respond with strength, we allow ourselves the opportunity to extinguish the fires of anxiety rather than fuel them further.#anxiety #mindsetshift #victimtovolunteer #stressmanagement #mentalhealth #courage #powerofchoice #mindfulness #relaxation #selfhelp #personalgrowth #copingstrategies #mentalwellness #emotionalregulation #resilience #selfcompassion #innerstrength #wellbeing #livedexperienceSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Jumpstart with Jeff, Dr. Jeff Buske, founder of Limitless Dentists, tackles the critical topic of avoiding the victim mindset in dentistry and life. Drawing from his experience coaching male dentists, Dr. Buske explores how many professionals "default into the day," reacting to circumstances rather than proactively shaping their outcomes. He shares his personal story of adapting his non-negotiable morning ritual; eight daily promises he's kept since 2016; to accommodate a 4:30 AM school trip for his son, demonstrating the power of pivoting to maintain control. By flipping his routine, from a 20-minute kettlebell workout to listening to his Bible app en route, Dr. Buske exemplifies how intentional choices can overcome chaos.Dr. Buske introduces his goal-setting system, reverse-engineering annual targets into daily actions, ensuring dentists stay focused and productive. He challenges listeners to identify where they're playing the victim; in health, marriage, parenting, or practice; and take one actionable step to reclaim control. Dr. Buske also announces an upcoming event in Salt Lake City on May 16-17, 2025, co-hosted with his mentor Garrett White, featuring a one-day Pivot Protocol workshop to teach dentists how to set and achieve 12-month goals. Packed with practical strategies, this episode is a wake-up call for dentists ready to stop eating “crumbs off the floor of circumstance” and build a life they're excited to wake up to.Key Takeaways:Non-Negotiable Rituals: Dr. Buske's eight daily promises, maintained since 2016, empower him to lead effectively in practice and family life.Reverse-Engineered Goals: Break annual targets into monthly, weekly, and daily actions to stay on track and achieve results.Time Management Myth: Excuses like “I don't have time” reflect poor prioritization; eliminate distractions like doom-scrolling to focus on what matters.“Success is creating a life you're excited to wake up to. Stop negotiating with yourself and take charge of your story.” - Dr. Jeff BuskeTo connect with Dr. Buske follow the links below - LinkedInInstagramFacebookLimitless Dentist AcademyJoin Dental Syndicate HERE

Setting boundaries with an addicted loved one is hard enough, but what happens when those boundaries trigger guilt trips, blame-shifting, or full-blown victim responses? In this episode, we're tackling one of the trickiest dynamics in addiction recovery: navigating victim mentality after you set healthy boundaries. You'll discover: ✅ Why boundaries often bring out a victim response in someone struggling with addiction. ✅ Common reactions like guilt-tripping, blame-shifting, and minimizing—and how to spot them. ✅ Practical ways to respond with empathy while staying firm. ✅ How to avoid the trap of over-explaining or justifying your decisions. ✅ The power of natural consequences to help your loved one take responsibility. Whether you're setting boundaries for the first time or trying to hold the line after years of back-and-forth, this episode will give you the tools and confidence to stay strong, compassionate, and effective. Remember: Boundaries aren't punishment—they're protection for your well-being and a powerful invitation for healthy change.

How can we grow into our full potential?—living up to what we know is the best version of ourselves, actualizing our goals, and expressing our deepest purpose in a life of impact and love?Grounded in cognitive science and psychology, best-selling author, podcaster, educator and researcher Scott Barry Kaufman believes that we need to redefine our understanding of greatness and excellence to include our whole selves—our emotions, dreams, failures, and gifts—all to live a life that is fully human, fully yourself.In this conversation with Scott Barry Kaufman, we discuss:Education and formation for the whole person, not just our intellect but our bodies, emotions, and spiritualityMaslow's hierarchy of needs and the journey that leads to self-actualizationThe difference it makes to see the world through growth rather than our deficienciesWhat it means to thrive even in the midst of mental illnessThe horizontal dimensions of transcendenceAnd how to connect and align with your deepest valuesEpisode Highlights“You can be mentally ill and thriving.”“Self-actualization is bringing your whole self to the table—not just one part of you.”“Real transcendence is about becoming one with the world—not being more enlightened than others.”“People are far more likely to demand respect than to give it.”“Only you can walk the path.”Helpful Links and ResourcesVisit scottbarrykaufman.comThe Psychology Podcast with Scott Barry KaufmanChoose Growth Workbook by Kaufman & Feingold*Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization,* by Scott Barry KaufmanScientific American: Spiritual NarcissismThe Lights Triad Personality TestSensitive Men Rising DocumentaryMaslow's Hierarchy of Needs Reimagined – Big ThinkCorey Mascara Podcast on ValuesShow NotesOrigin Story and Human ComplexityScott shares his journey from being labeled “ungifted” with an auditory disability to becoming a cognitive scientist.A pivotal teacher asked, “What are you still doing here?”—sparking self-belief and ambition.“I was a champion for the quirky kids from the start.”His work has shifted from an early obsession with greatness to a lifelong pursuit of self-actualization.“Greatness is tied up in power and status. Self-actualization is about bringing your whole self.”Reimagining Maslow & The Sailboat MetaphorKaufman replaces the hierarchy of needs with a dynamic sailboat metaphor.The boat represents safety (security, connection, self-esteem); the sail represents growth and transcendence.“Unless we open our sail and become vulnerable to the wind, we can't move toward what matters.”Adds collective dimension: “There are other boats in the sea. Some people forget that.”Contrasts “horizontal transcendence” (connection) with “spiritual narcissism” (superiority).Mental Illness, Creativity, and ThrivingChallenges the binary between wellness and illness: “You can be mentally ill and thriving.”Cites research showing creative strengths in children of those with mental illness.“They get the goodies without the baddies—the imagination without the psychosis.”Dismantles false dichotomies in psychiatry: labels vs. lived experience.Encourages integration rather than repression of neurodivergence and emotion.Alignment, Identity, and Individual GrowthAlignment—not perfection—is the goal of self-actualization.“Self-actualization coaching isn't about judgment. It's about helping people align with their values.”Different people prioritize different values: connection, power, freedom, meaning.Encourages reflection: What roles do you cherish most? What do you say yes and no to?“Ask: What's my reason for being? What legacy do I want to leave?”Moral Psychology and MatteringDiscusses mattering and the perils of performative self-importance.“Some people matter too much… they take up so much space, there's no room for others.”Proposes a “mattering ecology” for shared dignity and contribution.On moral flexibility: “People who scream loudest often don't like themselves.”Calls for emotional regulation, reflection, and collective moral grounding in a polarized world.Relationships, Whole Love, and SpiritualityIntroduces the concept of “whole love”—where all parts of the self are seen, accepted, and growing together.“It's as simple and as hard as that.”Critiques spiritual narcissism and “dark empaths” who use others for ego validation.Real empathy requires asking: “Am I helping this person for their sake—or because I need to be needed?”“Good character doesn't need an excuse.”Practical Takeaways & Coaching ToolsDirects listeners to Choose Growth, a practical workbook co-authored with Dr. Jordan Feingold.Reflection prompts: What am I proud of? What do I wish to change? What's my legacy?Encourages clarity around values and meaningful roles.Offers self-coaching questions to foster personal development and alignment.Provides listeners with tools for discernment, purpose, and sustainable growth.Pam King's Key TakeawaysScience and spirituality work together as an integrated pursuit of truth.Intelligence is so much more than a thought-process.Self-actualization leads us well beyond the self.Life is like a sailboat: so let the wind fill your sails as you dance on the waves toward our most valued harbor—and may the tides rise for all of us.To be a whole-person means resting in a loving compassion for ourselves and others—an openness and oneness with the world.“Many people could carry you across the bridge, but only you can walk the path.”About Scott Barry KaufmanScott Barry Kaufman is a cognitive scientist, author, and humanistic psychologist exploring the depths of human potential.

Let's keep it a buck:“Big Mama Culture” and the never-ending victim mindset are keeping us overweight, unhealthy, and unaccountable.We've normalized poor habits, labeled struggle as strength, and turned real problems into personality traits.At some point… we stopped calling out the patterns and started protecting them.This episode breaks down how enabling behavior, fake compliments, and a lack of accountability are holding the Black community back from real progress—mentally and physically.

If you're still complaining, you're not processing—you're practicing. If you're still playing the victim, you're not stuck—you're staying. Let that land. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who's been running the same emotional loop, telling the same story, and calling it healing. The truth? Most people don't need more time—they need more ownership. What looks like “processing” is often just avoidance in disguise. What feels like “overwhelm” is usually a lack of leadership—internal and external. This isn't about dismissing your pain. It's about refusing to let it become your identity. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

In this powerful episode, Demetrius Thigpen breaks down the victim mindset that's keeping too many service members (and people in general) stuck. He shares a raw, unfiltered story of almost going to court-martial in 2013 and how taking accountability saved his career—and his life. He unpacks the comfort people find in victimhood, the role of toxic circles, and the importance of owning your failures. This isn't a callout—it's a wake-up call. If you've been blaming everyone else, this episode will make you look in the mirror. And if you're ready to grow? It might just change your life.

What if the greatest obstacle to reaching your potential isn't external barriers, but a mindset in which you see yourself as a victim? Today, I'm stoked to welcome back my good friend and one of my favorite thinkers, Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman. This is Scott's third time on the podcast, and he always delivers. Scott is a humanistic psychologist, bestselling author, and host of The Psychology Podcast. His new book Rise Above: Overcome a Victim Mindset, Empower Yourself, and Realize Your Full Potential dives deep into what it means to move through suffering with both self-awareness and strength.In this conversation, we talk about the difference between victimization and a victim mindset, how subtle thought patterns like hostile attribution bias or over-personalization can limit growth, and why a mindset rooted in empowerment is the key to self-actualization.As you listen, reflect on your own internal narratives…. Maybe even the core triggers for when you tend to blame, deflect, or shrink back when things get hard? How might a shift toward a more powerful mindset — toward a deeper trust in yourself — change how you respond to life's challenges?

When COVID hit we all wore masks, so as not to infect each other or get infected. I and many others perceive that a more dangerous virus is among us, and it's a victim mindset, which results in a victim identity. So how can we protect ourselves?

We dig into this issue of victim mindset and identity in a candid, and likely not very PC discussion. As you'll hear, I'm just as susceptible as anyone at falling to my own victim mentality, so as usual, I entered into this with a student mindset. And…I was schooled. I think you will be too.

Subscribe to my newsletter for tips:https://www.mentalperformanceclub.comA victim mindset is a psychological state where individuals constantly perceive themselves as helpless and blame external factors for their lack of success. This mindset often stems from feelings of powerlessness, external blame, and self-doubt. It traps people in a cycle of negative thinking, where they focus more on their limitations and misfortunes rather than on opportunities for growth and change. When you embrace a victim mentality, you may avoid taking responsibility for your actions, miss chances for self-improvement, and stay stuck in a pattern of dissatisfaction. Overcoming this mindset involves taking ownership of your life, reframing your challenges, and empowering yourself to act in ways that align with your goals.

In this episode of The Codependent Doctor, I delve into the complex and often misunderstood concept of "victim mode." As a family doctor and fellow codependent, I understand that many of us have experienced feelings of powerlessness, especially after trauma, burnout, or in the context of codependency. This episode is designed to foster compassion and self-awareness, rather than judgment, as we explore how victim mode manifests in our lives and how we can begin to shift out of it.I start by defining victim mode as a mindset where individuals feel as though life is constantly happening to them, leading to a sense of helplessness and resentment. This mindset can stem from real experiences of trauma, emotional neglect, or feeling unheard, and it often results in a long-term identity that can be difficult to break free from. I emphasize that while many listeners may have valid reasons for their pain, it's crucial to recognize when that pain transforms into a belief that nothing will ever change.Throughout the episode, I highlight the signs of being stuck in victim mode, such as feeling like nothing works out, blaming others for our circumstances, and retelling painful stories that define our identities. I encourage listeners to approach these signs with curiosity rather than shame, recognizing that they are often survival strategies learned in response to past experiences.I also discuss how victim mode can impact our relationships, leading to feelings of being taken advantage of, expecting others to read our minds, and avoiding direct communication. These patterns can create a cycle of disconnection and disappointment, even when those around us are not intentionally trying to hurt us.As we move into the healing portion of the episode, I share practical steps for shifting out of victim mode. I emphasize the importance of acknowledging our experiences without shame and encourage listeners to ask themselves, "What is still in my control?" This question can help reclaim a sense of agency in situations where we may feel powerless.I introduce the concept of "tiny acts of power," which are small, everyday decisions that reinforce our ability to choose and assert our needs. Examples include saying no without over-explaining, asking for help without apologizing, and prioritizing our own comfort. These actions, while seemingly minor, can significantly impact our sense of self and empowerment.FinSend me a messageSubscribe to my newsletter for more information on when my new workbook, Enough As I Am, will be available on Amazon.

Today's episode is inspired by two very different messages I received this week—one from a client who's thriving and another from a frustrated stranger on YouTube. These contrasting perspectives open up a powerful discussion about fat loss, mindset, and how we often misinterpret the real obstacles in our way. If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or convinced that your circumstances are holding you back, this episode is a must-listen. What You'll Learn in This Episode: The difference between “simple” and “easy” when it comes to fat loss How mindset and victim mentality can sabotage your progress The real root causes of inflammation, insulin resistance, and weight gain A step-by-step approach to overcoming obstacles and taking control of your health Key Takeaways: Simple ≠ Easy: Fat loss follows a straightforward process, but it requires discipline, patience, and consistency. Victim Mindset vs. Ownership Mindset: Conditions like inflammation and insulin resistance can be managed by addressing root causes such as diet, movement, and stress management. Root Causes of Inflammation & Insulin Resistance: These conditions are symptoms, not the actual problem. Poor diet, lack of exercise, chronic stress, poor sleep, and excessive body fat all contribute to the overall issue. If you've ever felt like your body is working against you or that fat loss is out of your control, I hope today's discussion gives you a fresh perspective and actionable steps. If you found this episode valuable, please share it with a friend who might need to hear it!

Today, on Karl and Crew, we dove deeper into our weekly theme of mindset, discussing breaking free from a victimized mindset. We can sometimes develop a victim mentality when we experience traumatic or life-changing events, but instead of dwelling on those experiences, scripture encourages us to shift our focus to the blessings that God has given us. We turned to Colossians 3:2 where Paul tells us to devote our hearts to the things above, rather than the things of this earth. Have you been more focused on the enemy's distractions rather than God's blessings? Our special guest, Susie Larson, shared how she shifted her focus to God when the enemy was attempting to distract her. Susie is a bestselling author and national speaker; she’s authored several books, including “Waking Up to the Goodness of God.” She also hosts the radio show Susie Larson Live.
