A huge problem that I had before I went through the process of emotional healing, taking my life and power back and validating myself as equally valuable to all other people, was that I didn’t SEE that I deserved to be treated the same way that “they” wanted me to treat them. I didn’t realize that I deserved to have the same respect, love and consideration that I gave to them. I didn’t realize that I was just as worthy as everyone else. I treated everyone the way I HOPED they would treat me and I believed that if I was compliant and obedient to what made them feel comfortable that eventually they would see my value and consider my needs. This way of thinking is related to victim mentality and survival mode and the expected result for mutual respect and equal value didn’t happen. After understanding that my thinking was dysfunctional and rooted in victim mentality, it was very important for me to see how I treated myself in order to see that the message that I communicated to everyone by example both in the way that I accepted devaluing treatment and in the way that I treated myself. - See more at: emergingfrombroken/repairing-self-trust-breaking-the-pattern-of-letting-myself-down/#more-4575
