It seems that something clicks and people are ready to shed the victim costume... When that happens, watch out! It's such an honor to be with someone when they make the shift. Hey, maybe the place you're talking about is the journey into empowerment. That is a process filled with insights and realizations that create the transformation. Terri, I remember when I realized that I wanted to be a coach and that I could fulfill my purpose on earth coaching... I changed directions. I no longer needed to 'prove myself' by continuing an education for the sole purpose of gaining something outside of myself. When I had this realization, I no longer felt the need to prove myself.. I had the 'aha' awareness that I have everything I need inside of me. I feel free to share myself more authentically, because I'm not judging myself as lacking. I've enjoyed our time together, Terri! I just remembered you will be in town Sunday... What time? I'd love to see you.

My story has to do with education, my education of course. I have a BA in Cultural Anthropology, several certificates in some type of Travel Industries, and about 15 credits shy of an AA in travel with an emphasis on business and computers. Now I have just earned a Certificate in Massage Therapy. This has all been a journey to prove to myself I am not stupid and to actually find something I really love to do which is massage and energy work. Thank God for massage, it has allowed me to actually move out of my terror (victim) enough to start breathing. Just think I have spent years being terrified of me, hard to follow your heart being and living in that state. As much as I thought following my heart was what I was trying to do, what I have discovered I have been following my head and yes my emotions. I am learning my heart is in the flow of God, Divine Purpose as CK reminds me, every minuet of every day. Creativity is coming slowly, opening up in many ways, giving, receiving working, writing and singing. Now my fear of change is coming to realize I am frightened of no change. Now that would be scary.

I wonder whether there's a place in between victimization and empowerment ... we know we're creating all of it, so we're not really victims. But somehow we cannot overcome the resistance of stepping out of our comfort zone, either. I find a lot of people who seem to be in that situation ... but maybe this is still a version of victimization? Maybe victims of habit, routine, and perceived "safety"?

When someone finds themselves unwilling to make the committed decision to take the steps to change their lives... maybe they are creating from that victim place. What do you think? It's like a lightbulb for me. This awareness informs me why I've been very clear that the clients that come to me are READY for complete and total transformation... That means stepping out of victim and into empowered!

And they think there's some sort of clearing work we can do to make it "easy" to get stuff done ... it's that old myth, that if it aligns with our purpose, it "should" be effortless. Emotions can get stuck in what is known, and inside our comfort zone. I like your differentiation between "feelings" and "inner wisdom" here!
