well... a lot of that hits home for me as well.
and thats a question that i struggle with too...
i think...
that a 'professional victim' is someone who has a repeated pattern of lashing out at people who they believe have victimised them.
it is hard because some people have been repeatedly victimised.
i think...
that a 'professional victim' is someone who blames other people for problems without acknowledging their role (without owning their own responses)
it is hard because some people have been repeatedly victimised.but there has to be something to it or people wouldn't say it...
i think...
that 'professional victim' is one of those judgemental terms that clinicians use when they are hacked off at the person. because the person is in pain and they can't really do anything about it. so they lash out at the person by calling them names incl. 'professional victim'.but then i guess a 'professional victim' would place the blame back on them...
