Beyond Victimhood

A "victimhood" epidemic rages for many people who are survivors. These survivors may have been physically or emotionally abused. They have survived extreme cases of conditional "love" which require them to "earn" dignity and love by meeting abusive or unrealistic expectations. The problem occurs when survivors label themselves "victims" long after a healing process has begun. This victim mentality can prevent people from attaining complete wholeness and true peace of mind. In Beyond Victimhood, Tom Fitzgerald recognizes that surface or behavioral changes are not enough - that "we make a real difference in our own lives when we strive to make a real difference in the lives of others." Not just a "feel good" book, Beyond Victimhood is a practical resource, containing a hands-on process to embrace the future, an annotated reading list to enrich self-understanding, and a litany of daily reminders to help maintain focus. --- from book's back cover.
