“As a child, the best way to survive was to be still, to submit—to do nothing that might incur further harm. That belief had grown with me through my teens, my twenties, my thirties, an unacknowledged mentor directing my every path, reinforcing a ubiquitous sense of powerlessness and victimhood. I had believed that I was bad, and unloveable, and cowardly, and weak—beliefs that had been unconscious, and had always gone unchallenged. I believed them because they were true, and they were true because I believed them.” HelplessnessNegative ThoughtsAbuse SurvivorsPowerlessnessVictimhoodNegative ThinkingBelief SystemVictim MentalityEffects Of Child AbuseVictim RoleUnhelpful Thoughts Author:Carolyn Spring
