Victimhood. None of us will admit wanting to remain in a victim state - yet we all do it. So what is it about the victim mentality that keeps us stuck there, and how do we start to break free?

To shine some light on this controversial mindset, the Conscious Leadership Podcast welcomes alchemic healer and clinically trained therapist Yarrow Bucans for a conversation about victimhood in a society that truly profits off our scarcity and victim modes. In our discussion, we dive into understanding unconscious attraction and attachment wounds, healing the central nervous system, and fostering an awareness of our relation to the world around us. Yarrow shares some starting points for doing internal healing work along with examples of how she personally shifted from a mode of victimhood to one of empowerment.

When it comes to the healing journey, at some point it’s okay to be in a place that says, “the world is happening to me,” to be a victim, and to stand in that. But at a certain point we can move past and write a new story. Not with bypassing, but by feeling all the deep feelings in order to move through them. With this episode, you’ll be empowered with tips and tools to help you and your nervous system through that process to create the safety you need for true expansion.

This week’s guest was Yarrow Bucans! Yarrow is a clinically trained therapist and alchemical healer with over 15 years of experience teaching yoga, meditation, and breathwork.
