The devastating, hurtful, and heartbreaking things that happen to us need to be seen, acknowledged, grieved, and heard. This is critical for us to begin to heal and learn to feel safe and secure despite what has happened to us or how our lives may have been forever changed. Yet, when we get stuck in the shock stage, unable to believe or comprehend what has occurred, we develop the mind set of being a victim of these circumstances. Incapable of seeing outside of the perspective of being someone who was unjustly wronged, we cling to the idea that we can never let it go or have peace because of what happened. This is how victim mentality begins and the longer we stay within it, the more rooted it becomes in our minds and emotional bodies as we begin to identify with it more strongly.
On this Identify & Heal Solo episode I offer my take on victim mentality, what it is and why it can be so hard to let go of. I share a bit of my personal experience of holding onto the idea of myself as a victim who could never truly be happy or love myself. Then I get into how we CAN make the choice and changes needed in order to truly release victim mentality for good and open ourselves to our Divine Feminine unlimited potential once we know who we really are.

What is Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine?
My name is Whitney Walker, welcome to Women Waken! I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specialising in substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and Spirituality. Over 10 years ago I walked into a therapist office for the first time because I realised that I felt incapable of handling life. I abused drugs and alcohol, had rock bottom self esteem, often felt suicidal, was very self destructive, and had no idea how to resolve what felt like a complete mess inside my mind and emotions.
After years of therapy, getting sober, and choosing to begin the journey of unconditional self love for myself, things started to change. My self esteem rose along with my self regard and kindness towards myself. I knew there was only one thing I wanted to do with the rest of my life; help others out of the place that I was in and start figuring out how we can end these cycles for good, for all of us.
Women Waken is building community and offering a platform for Women to come together who share a vision of creating a new way of life where insecurity, low self esteem, and self- destruction are no longer the norm. Where we are able to rebalance the dynamic between the inner and outer Worlds so that our ability to love and accept ourselves is no longer dependent on externals.
On this show, we speak to Women who are seeking to heal from traumas/habits/addictions that are keeping them in a place of disempowerment who are ready to begin aligning with their true self and are ready to let their light shine
I release two episodes a week, an interview and solo episode,
If you feel ready to reclaim your power and stand in your Divine light I hope this show finds you!
