How to be a "victor" rather than a victim

I was recently on the Dr. Raymond Havlicek and Friends Podcast to discuss a victor mindset. Dr. Ray is my dad, and a clinical psychologist as well, so this episode is extra special to me.

Dr. Raymond Havlicek and Dr. Lindsay Havlicek-Bell discuss how empowering Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Coaching (REB-T and REB-C) are.

Dr. Havlicek- Bell discussed the difference between appropriate negative emotions as opposed to self-inhibiting destructive negative emotions. Dr. Havlicek-Bell also addressed the idea that despite current wide-spread emphasis on how our past sometimes traumatic experiences are to blame for our conditions, she clearly explained how we can move forward, grow, and heal by addressing our irrational thinking and by disputing our irrational beliefs with rational thoughts. Dr. Havlicek-Bell stated that many profit by the tendency for people to think as "victims." A future Podcast will address how some profit by some Americans' tendency to think as "victims."
