The Victim as a Coping Mechanism

La Víctima como Mecanismo de Afrontamiento

A student recognizes how identifying as a victim functions as a familiar safety mechanism, and the teacher affirms their capacity to take responsibility as the creator of their experience.

The Victim as a Coping Mechanism

A student recognizes how identifying as a victim functions as a familiar safety mechanism, and the teacher affirms their capacity to take responsibility as the creator of their experience.

I can do the responsibility. It's just that the victim identity feels like such a coping mechanism. It feels like safety, like "Oh, that's just me, that's just my life."

You are the creator of these experiences.

Yeah. Thank you.

You're welcome.
