346. Shadow Archetype: The Victim; Breaking Free from Neglect and Powerlessness (Shadow Work Series Part 17 of 22)

Feeling stuck, unseen, or like life is happening to you instead of for you? That’s the shadow of the Victim Archetype at work. In this episode, we’ll dive into how this archetype stems from wounds of neglect, abandonment, and guilt—and how it tricks you into giving away your power. We’ll explore the hidden benefits of staying in victimhood (hello, validation and safety!) and why breaking free isn’t about blaming yourself but reclaiming your agency. Tune in to learn how to shift from powerless to empowered, so you can rewrite the narrative and start living life on your terms. In this shadow work series, we’re diving deep into the parts of ourselves we often avoid—the hidden fears, patterns, and wounds shaping our lives from the shadows. Together, we’ll explore the four core wounds—trust, guilt, abandonment, and neglect—and uncover how they affect our relationships, self-worth, and inner peace. This isn’t about fixing or erasing these parts; it’s about understanding, embracing, and integrating them to step into your wholeness. So, grab a journal, an open mind, and maybe a cup of tea—because we’re about to get real, raw, and radically self-aware. Let’s play in the shadows. Join Shadow Work: https://alwaysplay.org/shadow-work
