Denial Strategy: Helpless/Hopeless

Takes no responsibility, says things like “it’s not my fault,” and blames everyone else. Helpless / hopeless is the “I can’t” attitude. In reality, this denial strategy is simply “I won’t.” The helpless/hopeless attitude is the “victim” in the drama cycle. When I am in this denial strategy, I think, say and do anything I can think of to shift responsibility for my situation onto others and away from me. This pattern creates an amazing amount of pain inside of me, because I am living in a lie that others have “done unto me.” When I get into the Truth that my situation is entirely the outcome of my choices, and when I take responsibility for those choices, I will heal denial and feel and be empowered to choose and love.
