Healing the Inner Victim workshop participant 2005
“Using the inspired weaving together of energetic healing techniques, incisive questions and sacred geometry, Three Turns of a Kaleidoscope offers us a way to stop playing the Victim. When we find ourselves immersed in the shadowy replays of past experiences that adversely affect our present life, we are encouraged to point our metaphorical kaleidoscope toward the light. Enhanced illumination provides new perspectives that free us from repetitive and hurt-filled thoughts and behaviors. Surprised, we soon notice ourselves enjoying soothing contentment.”
Are you always working hard helping others and somehow it backfires? You may end up being yelled at, or resenting the person you were helping? Are you too often critical, finding fault, or often unpleasant with those you love? Do you watch helplessly while they slowly become like a stranger to you OR you become a stranger to yourself?"
In our personal and work lives, we often experience pain that is coupled with helplessness. We begin to think we are at the mercy of someone else's choices, directions, commands. Most of us unconsciously react to life from a position of victim-hood. Anytime we refuse to take responsibility for ourselves, we are opting to play victim. We then feel like a victim, taking pity on ourselves, and sometimes feeling helpless.
Three Turns of a Kaleidoscope provides information about the behaviors that keep us feeling helpless and hopeless. It examines the different roles of "victim-hood" (victim, persecutor, rescuer) as a dead-end triangular relationship with oneself and with others. Then, it provides a transformative process out of this "going-no-where" triangle and into healthier and healing ways of relating.
“This kaleidoscopic approach to healing moves us from out-of-step to rhythmic movement in the dance of life, from freezing to freeing, from compressed to expanded, from suffering to joy, from blaming to celebrating, and from repeating the old to creating and recreating new ways of living in this moment.”
