Accuracy, Thank you for the suggestion on "The Three Faces of the Victim."
I read about it and learned a great deal about myself. I play all three of the roles at different times but primarily the helpless victim in my sitch.
I was doing that yesterday as a matter of fact and this new awareness is helping me start today differently. The article told me to focus on self care, rather than looking outside for a saviour (and I had convinced myself that my lack of self care was selfless!) and to acknowledge my problem solving and leadership capacities.
Thank you.
