I agree. Shes amazing. I dont always agree with her, but I always listen. She did an anti vaxer video once that really made me say 'Wuuuuuut...?' But on the whole, I am in awe of her insight.
Beware of the temptation to idealize, this is a dangerous slope. But the video is truly an amazing and clear vulgarization of many books written on the topic. She is 10/10 on putting this all together in a digestible format if less than 30 minutes.
yeah , hahahaaa , imagine going to class in high school , and one session is spirituall awakening with miss swan , questions like miss why am i here , and the teacher acutually answers that question with intent and positivity , man i would have gone to school every day , instead of wagging it like i use too.
The hardest part for me to let go was a feeling that i felt like a burden by my parents. And i was loved for what i could provide for. I started disliking my success and intelligence, believing that i was only loved for that, meaning inherently that i was not loved. Took me a long time to let go.
this is very accurate, its a journey of going thru doors; denial, powerlessness, victim, blame, awareness, understanding, self pity, sadness, anger, acceptance, rumination, confusion, fear, courage, empowerment, sadness, understanding, surrender, peace, love, letting go, forgiveness. that is the order they happened to me.

T-h-e MOST Socially Constructive and Beneficial talk from Teal yet. This one is heads and shoulders above all the others. About a decade ago, I had to deal with this association that blame has with responsibility. I found myself dwelling way too much over an emotional injury that had been inflicted on me, and I realized that I needed to get past it--and get past it on my own, since those who injured me were never going to be able to pay their debt to me. But, when I started thinking of taking responsibility for my own happiness, I caught myself resisting it--out of a sense that I would also be taking the blame. And, I realized that associating blame with responsibility in that way was a trap--one that I would have to get past in order to be empowered and stop dwelling on an injustice that could never be put right. Since then, I've seen many trapped in that place, expecting pay back from someone that would never be able to put things right. I haven't forgotten my injury, but I'm no longer trapped in scars. Others shouldn't have to suffer the same fate.
+TesserId Yes it is very difficult to deal with injustice that will not be put right. It i easy to know all the things you should do, but really doing them can be pretty tough!
+Karmic Beats, Indeed, and there are those that we didn't know were in us. And, what a curiosity when they show up. One blink, and I might have missed this fear of accepting blame that wasn't mine to accept. And, that's just one example. Looking inward, spending time in the shadows within us, gives us those opportunities. And, yes, it's the tougher things the bring out the most surprising things, as well as the most useful ones. Thanks for the comment.
You are very brave in telling the hard truth about the victimhood and responsibility. Most of the people say soft words, making people comfortable on their egoistic view of the world of "I deserve it all and if I'm not, it is not my problem, because I'm special". The point is that doesn't exist freedom without responsibility.
Wow! This is me right here right now! So this is just a loving tap on the shoulder saying yes you recognize you are waking up to your actual path … stay tuned to shaking off what ever has stopped you from getting here before. I am bumping into them on a daily basis I am already noticing these on an hourly basis. Even getting a coffee … I can see it when it’s okay and when it’s just auto self sabotaging escapism.
Teal, I just want to let you know that I just met my sister for the first time in my life, she is 3 years older than I and I am 46. She came up from Houston today to meet me finally because she said she had to meet me. At the end of the evening, I have learned some things that I didn't expect to learn, some would say that I learned some very bad things about my father who has been dead for about a year and a half. Anyway, she is sleeping now on my bed and I just played this whole wonderful video and teaching lesson for her to hear in her sleep, to help her and me I guess. You have made a difference, again, in my life and your abilities are being used by me, thank you.
I would be like I wished I knew this before but the reality is I wasn’t ready to hear this message before because I’m in profound state of denial. Thanks so much Teal for opening my eyes but my eyes will be wide open once I’ll take responsibility for my actions.
I've had synchronicities all weekend, and now...I tune in and see your newest upload. Completely spot on with what I've been dealing with this weekend and so in-tune and well timed it brought me to tears. Thank you, Teal. Your words make so much more sense than mine when I try to explain/understand these things. I'm a survivor of child sexual abuse and the self-blaming, its so real. It does feel better when I do it, but those around me do not respond how I expect when I take responsibility. They think I'm freaking out or just trying to get people to feel sorry for me but, it really does make me feel in control. I often feel, "If I go ahead and bear responsibility, then there will be no wasting time on deciding who's to blame, and a resolution will come faster". Teal, going into the shadows is very hard, but I'm seeing things about myself I never knew, how this victim mentality and other negativity attaches in places you often overlook, because it shows up underneath where you feel you are "strong".
I am seeing and understanding better on responsibility. Now, I know 'why'! The ability to respond. It is deep, freeing and I am happy and grateful. Thank you Teal. ❤🌹
Lessons keep coming to us in different ways,until we learn it. You taught me the important life lesson which I was willing to learn but struggling to understand. So..so.. grateful to you my Teacher 🙏🙏🙏
Holy mother of lord. Just today I was literally thinking about responsibility and wished that one of the YT guru's I was subscribed to would make a video on it. Lo and behold the one and only Teal Swan herself makes a video on responsibility, on the same day I wanted said video. The world works in mysterious ways. Thank you for the video
I needed to write an essay on Responsibility, and this video helped me get more meaning on the word. Thank you for making my life more easier and making me more knowledgeable
i have been in a low vibration of self blame and others blame...but i hv learnt that i need to stop running away from my situations n take responsibility n take my power back..thnx Teal
Yep 8 minutes in! I've been frustrated for months I've been seen as feeling sorry for myself - so people have said! I felt pathetic. I had ACL surgery and other stuff done to my knee. I'm in my 50s and I can walk now thankful for the surgery but I can't walk far- permanently! Thank-you Teal.
I agree with the others who posted that it took incredible bravery to post this hard truth! This is equivalent to telling the world that our planet is round when we all thought it was flat. I have personally been through this ‘awakening’/crisis and it was indeed very painful. However, there is NO GOING BACK. You cannot unsee this wisdom and truth once it reveals itself in your life. It is the biggest change you can make in order to be truly empowered in yourself.and yet it comes at the price of letting go of a major security blanket of the ego. I can only describe the ensuing feeling as a feeling of falling. Also, I want to comment on those that disagree that the world favors victim hood. It absolutely does and as Teal said- up to a point only! Then people get tired of it. I see this both on macro (societal levels with social issues) and also on micro levels concerning myself and my own personal life. I’ve seen too many examples to list here. Mainly, in my personal life -when I was still blind to it-it was a way to get connection and attention. but victimhood can also be used as a form of manipulation to getting what you want and also for demonizing others so as to make oneself superior. I have been saying to people over the last few years that I’ve been going through THE SHIFT and I feel like I’m still in the gap of leaping to the other side. It is lonely and terrifying and yet the most empowering time of my life. Side note: I’ve noticed that when I talk about some of the painful things I’ve been through and then I also talk about how “I can See clearly where I played my part and that it is EMPOWERING to see it because then I can grow, etc” MOST people try to minimize it for me and clearly misunderstand me as blaming myself. This occurs no matter how clear I am in stating that I am not blaming myself etc. this was a big eye opener to me that those people are not at all ready to digest this information on their own personal level because if they minimize it “for me” they won’t have to see that it is also true in their own lives.
Teal Swan, you just stop me from saying something that I knew wasn't the true me because I blamed someone close for not being able to emotional comfort my loneliness. This video made me take responsibility for my situation.

I luv the way you explained this so many people play the victim role. I use to feel sorry for myself on a lot of situations l'm just starting to except me for me. and that l am different and that all never be like other's. I always felt odd and alot people don't understand me. but I adore your channel you taught me a few things God bless you.
Beautiful nuggets of gold. I've experienced much of what you speak about as I've learned how to move out of victim-hood. Still working on one particular situation, but lots of progress has been made. Excellent teaching!
this woman is angel, i hope she didnt have to go through pain to be this wise. i hope she was just very smart to know this. thank you for your work you beautiful soul
I get it. The Universe isn’t against us, but our government and society is, so we must locate and use whatever positive power we have, wherever we can find and create it. One can acknowledge the reality of oppression without completely succumbing to it. Thank you Teal.
I think the info on this video is overwhelming. Good thing we can rewatch this, because it is so deep, that I get lost sometimes. But who goes deeper than Teal, and gives us those complete pictures? It's priceless. It's just up to me to rewatch the video again and again, to integrate it all. Thanks Teal for taking the time and give people freely all this material, you help a lot of people by doing this
+Shayla Maat Liberated It is good that you cry. When you cry, you clean yourself from bad feelings. Just let yourself cry... there are so many people who live like robots and are not able to cry.
+Karmic Beats indeed...thank you I have been practicing waking up early all summer and now that it comes natural to me I intend to use that time to meditate and breathe I realized that we have the power to heal ourselves it just takes practice and I appreciate all the support
+Shayla Maat Liberated I offer you this idea. Write down the thoughts running through your mind while in that emotional state. Then when you are feeling better, look at what you wrote. When you see those thoughts from a different state of consciousness, you may gain a new awareness that is healing x
Taking responsibility is hard because being the creator as a human being, is like having superpowers which you don't quite know how to control or trying to hold a force within you that you can't contain. That's why being the victim seems like it is providing a way out for me sometimes. So much power and not exactly knowing what I'm doing with it is overwhelming. And realising that you have such power is scary! I am at awe; reducing ourselves down to the clumsy human beings we are, and probably trying to see just what we'd do with so much power without even understanding the first thing about it! Oh, yeah; well let's see how it works out... It's no wonder we are self-destructive. I obviously still don't get how it all works... Thanks for the video. It's wonderful. It is helpful and calming..
You are amazing Teal. One more time, thank you. I've watched all of your videos and every saturday I want for new one. That's a pitty you won't come to Brasil. You changed my life for better. Thank you
I agree with most, but I still think there is a difference between 'forgiving' human unconsciousness and 'approving' of something heinous/inhumane'unwanted. It's very popular to 'forgive human unconsciousness' at present (see Eckhart Tolle for much of this) and from a more evolved point or as Teal mentioned, panning out on a situation and one is able to recognise the benefits of previously unwanted contrast -seeing how it has made you a stronger/more awake/aware person etc. Thich Nhat Hanh also says "no mud, no Lotus'- we see the necessary contrast as needed for growth. BUT that doesn't mean I need to say "thank you so much for trying to abuse me- i totally approve of that -no - your choices and behaviour were heinous and wrong and I will not say it is okay or approve of it - but I have benefited from the growth contrast has afforded.
There is a difference between "approval" vs "advocation" . Teal is referring to "being in the space of approval" not for you to outwardly advocate the heinous/inhumane act . She describes it as the final step necessary to be free as an inner movement. To truly be inwardly free. You have to be responsible to yourself with inner honesty so much that you neutralize the duality the inner victim trauma creates and allow the energy that was upholding it to truly dissipate, releasing you. It is a relentless act of inner freedom.
Claire Lou yh i think she means be thankful for the growth but yh i agree def dont need to say thanks for abusing me lol. I think its more like being grateful for the opportunity to learn n grow beyond the pain course wen uve gone beyond it bcuz in the moment u may not have the awareness to be grateful bcuz of the pain u feel but yh.
I liked how she said "approve" because, well, it just resonated with me. Like, "I approve of that experience" (Because after all I did come in to this life chosing thay exerience).I still make not like it, I may not appreciate it or maybe not even forgive the person but rather I release all connection to that event/person and At the same time its not regret. I find "approve" to be a much more neutral word than "forgive" or "appreciate". Its like "accept" but without the victim aspect.
Thank you...perfect timing for a young teenager fighting growing up..I am going to make your videos a required watch and answer.. everything I wanted to say and more..
I love you so much, you have helped me improve my life in so many different ways. You are amazing!! Thank you for being you, I was intended to find you and I did. Never stop what you are doing.
Wow. Thank you. I just finalized a divorce today, and this talk was a great reflection. It helped me put in greater context many of the positive and negative choices I've made along the way. And thanks, Mom, for recommending this.
***** I found the philosophy behind mgtow to be very helpful inoculating myself against future shitty relationships, it's where guys shed some light on female nature within gynocentrism. Check out the red pill movie by cassie jaye.
Hey guys can some of you spiritual people help me out. I see what Teal says about not having to work but right now I am unemployed and starving. Literally haven't ate in a couple days. I am at a library computer right now watching this. That's how I spend most of my time honestly, at the library. Sometimes I apply for jobs but the only ones that call back are ones that would make me hate doing them. I don't have much and don't really see how much longer I can last. I'm trying to follow my dreams but it's very hard to at the moment. I don't want a handout or people to feel sorry for me. It's just that I've waited half a year for things to come to fruition and the universe really done much to help. I just want to now how her advice applies to me. That's all.
Thank you for this video even though it is from 6 years ago! My mom wants me to give her a detailed description of what I want to do with my future. The problem is that I keep changing my mind so it is scary to do anything major. I will take your advice and take one step at a time and see where I end up.
Teal. I really am happy with the way life takes you. Normally when i wake up it takes time to prepare sometimes. I feel its time we came together the good will of people you know. I know you will read this =) =)
This episode really hit me mentally in a place i didn't know I had, the truth is i do feel like a victim and my procrastination is a result of a timidness to commit. I'm also really intrigued by this potential book of Teal's it sounds like powerful transmutation is possible with forgiveness, ha ha typing that just now it feels so obvious it's kind of silly :)
hey teal... your videos have been on point I have been suffering from depression for a few days now its always on and off and your videos have helped me and by helping me you are helping my children
Hi Teal, I wanted to comment about how we switch from the circular negative thoughts like blaming and despair, to gratitude. I find the switch impossible. Like a little kid, all upset, being force to apologize to a brother or sister... He Doesn't really, Feel, sorrow. And so it is with us, we can't really feel gratitude when we are upset, and blaming. What I've found with myself, is that all we have to do, is consciously 'forgive ourselves for not being who we (supposedly) wished we were, living he life we wish we had.' I think that is a key transitional statement, from which we can then turn to things we can truly feel gratitude towards. :-) Namaste
wow this woman is genius
I agree. Shes amazing. I dont always agree with her, but I always listen. She did an anti vaxer video once that really made me say 'Wuuuuuut...?' But on the whole, I am in awe of her insight.
It's so hard for me to see someone know something so thoroughly that I so desperately need to learn.
For real! If she never began TH-cam, then the kind of stuff she talks about would never even cross my mind.
Beware of the temptation to idealize, this is a dangerous slope. But the video is truly an amazing and clear vulgarization of many books written on the topic. She is 10/10 on putting this all together in a digestible format if less than 30 minutes.
True :)
yeah , hahahaaa , imagine going to class in high school , and one session is spirituall awakening with miss swan , questions like miss why am i here , and the teacher acutually answers that question with intent and positivity , man i would have gone to school every day , instead of wagging it like i use too.
Wasn't this video all about taking responsibility for your actions and not just complaining?
The hardest part for me to let go was a feeling that i felt like a burden by my parents. And i was loved for what i could provide for. I started disliking my success and intelligence, believing that i was only loved for that, meaning inherently that i was not loved. Took me a long time to let go.
this is very accurate, its a journey of going thru doors; denial, powerlessness, victim, blame, awareness, understanding, self pity, sadness, anger, acceptance, rumination, confusion, fear, courage, empowerment, sadness, understanding, surrender, peace, love, letting go, forgiveness. that is the order they happened to me.

It really is quite simple when we embrace taking the next step boldly and with devotion.
There is so much empowerment inherent in your words. Thank you Teal!
One of the best videos you've ever made. This helped me tremendously! Thank you Teal!

This consolidation of responsibility was one of the first “downloads” I received after my awakening!
and it was and is very painful! But empowering! It’s part of the completion process.

I love you Teal, thank you for sharing your wisdom. Your guidance is helping the world change and grow.
Your awesome. Great well thought out! Keep up the good work. The world needs more of your energy and rationality!
The flowing water background of presentation is so wise and beautiful, the speaker has beautiful eyes and great knowledge and explanation!🌈👍👍🌈
Beautiful nuggets of gold. I've experienced much of what you speak about as I've learned how to move out of victim-hood. Still working on one particular situation, but lots of progress has been made. Excellent teaching!
when she said you cant feel bad about your life and be grateful for the things you have at the same time I laughed out loud
this woman is angel, i hope she didnt have to go through pain to be this wise. i hope she was just very smart to know this. thank you for your work you beautiful soul

+Shayla Maat Liberated Try daily breath meditation. It will help to guide you to where you need and want to be!

What an amazing video 💖 thank you Teal.
Does anyone else have Teal come into their dream? She's the only teacher that comes in my dreams 💗
Another awakening video. ..Thank you very much. ..may God bless you. ..
Taking responsibility is hard because being the creator as a human being, is like having superpowers which you don't quite know how to control or trying to hold a force within you that you can't contain. That's why being the victim seems like it is providing a way out for me sometimes. So much power and not exactly knowing what I'm doing with it is overwhelming. And realising that you have such power is scary! I am at awe; reducing ourselves down to the clumsy human beings we are, and probably trying to see just what we'd do with so much power without even understanding the first thing about it! Oh, yeah; well let's see how it works out... It's no wonder we are self-destructive. I obviously still don't get how it all works... Thanks for the video. It's wonderful. It is helpful and calming..
💜i am mezmerised by your knowledge and ability to express that with such clarity.....thanku for your guidance..💚
You are amazing Teal. One more time, thank you.
I've watched all of your videos and every saturday I want for new one. That's a pitty you won't come to Brasil. You changed my life for better.
Thank you
thank you teal for showing us how amazing we really are
You are a true asset to the human race.
She’s hardcore man I had to pause let it sink in and then play again she is just phenomenal
Thank you for this video Teal. This is one of my biggest struggles and probably where I do the most shadow work.
Peace ❤ and Blessings to you.
3:50 - 5:00 I connect with that so much. Thank you so much Teal
Parts of me want to go to work.
Parts of me dont want to..
This video showed me I lean to much on others and also: spiritusl teachers, as Teal Swan.
Teal, thank you for your compassion.
I agree with most, but I still think there is a difference between 'forgiving' human unconsciousness and 'approving' of something heinous/inhumane'unwanted. It's very popular to 'forgive human unconsciousness' at present (see Eckhart Tolle for much of this) and from a more evolved point or as Teal mentioned, panning out on a situation and one is able to recognise the benefits of previously unwanted contrast -seeing how it has made you a stronger/more awake/aware person etc. Thich Nhat Hanh also says "no mud, no Lotus'- we see the necessary contrast as needed for growth. BUT that doesn't mean I need to say "thank you so much for trying to abuse me- i totally approve of that -no - your choices and behaviour were heinous and wrong and I will not say it is okay or approve of it - but I have benefited from the growth contrast has afforded.
There is a difference between "approval" vs "advocation" . Teal is referring to "being in the space of approval" not for you to outwardly advocate the heinous/inhumane act . She describes it as the final step necessary to be free as an inner movement. To truly be inwardly free. You have to be responsible to yourself with inner honesty so much that you neutralize the duality the inner victim trauma creates and allow the energy that was upholding it to truly dissipate, releasing you. It is a relentless act of inner freedom.
Claire Lou yh i think she means be thankful for the growth but yh i agree def dont need to say thanks for abusing me lol. I think its more like being grateful for the opportunity to learn n grow beyond the pain course wen uve gone beyond it bcuz in the moment u may not have the awareness to be grateful bcuz of the pain u feel but yh.
I liked how she said "approve" because, well, it just resonated with me. Like, "I approve of that experience" (Because after all I did come in to this life chosing thay exerience).I still make not like it, I may not appreciate it or maybe not even forgive the person but rather I release all connection to that event/person and At the same time its not regret. I find "approve" to be a much more neutral word than "forgive" or "appreciate". Its like "accept" but without the victim aspect.
I love you Teal Swan.
This woman deserves a Nobel Peace Prize.
Seriously, she is amazing, what insights and I'm so Thankful for her sharing and helping everyone 🙏🙏🌻🌷❤❤

Hi Teal, sending much gratitude to you. Thank you.
great insights shared by Teal, thanks for helping us in the transformational journey
I love you so much, you have helped me improve my life in so many different ways. You are amazing!! Thank you for being you, I was intended to find you and I did. Never stop what you are doing.
Wow. Thank you. I just finalized a divorce today, and this talk was a great reflection. It helped me put in greater context many of the positive and negative choices I've made along the way.
And thanks, Mom, for recommending this.
cool!
***** I found the philosophy behind mgtow to be very helpful inoculating myself against future shitty relationships, it's where guys shed some light on female nature within gynocentrism. Check out the red pill movie by cassie jaye.
This has been so powerful. You are incredible and the work is amazing. Thank you so much.
Teal, I got your book and so far love it, still have a ways to go...But I am doing the water exercise and WOW. Love you and thank you!
I love you video very much...The message from this video is Care, Respect and Trust yourself. Thank you!
Hey guys can some of you spiritual people help me out. I see what Teal says about not having to work but right now I am unemployed and starving. Literally haven't ate in a couple days. I am at a library computer right now watching this. That's how I spend most of my time honestly, at the library. Sometimes I apply for jobs but the only ones that call back are ones that would make me hate doing them. I don't have much and don't really see how much longer I can last. I'm trying to follow my dreams but it's very hard to at the moment. I don't want a handout or people to feel sorry for me. It's just that I've waited half a year for things to come to fruition and the universe really done much to help. I just want to now how her advice applies to me. That's all.
Wow this came at the right moment. Certainly one of your most helpful videos for me, it really hit me. Like really!
Thank you so much
Teal, you are a Godsend. Namaste
Love Teal. So much wisdom
Thank you for this video even though it is from 6 years ago! My mom wants me to give her a detailed description of what I want to do with my future. The problem is that I keep changing my mind so it is scary to do anything major. I will take your advice and take one step at a time and see where I end up.
Thank you Teal ! You are a genius ❤️ I admire you the fact that you explain so well things. Love you ❤️
Teal. I really am happy with the way life takes you. Normally when i wake up it takes time to prepare sometimes. I feel its time we came together the good will of people you know. I know you will read this =) =)
Remarkable! Thank you so much for all your work and your genius breaking down of those topics!
This episode really hit me mentally in a place i didn't know I had, the truth is i do feel like a victim and my procrastination is a result of a timidness to commit. I'm also really intrigued by this potential book of Teal's it sounds like powerful transmutation is possible with forgiveness, ha ha typing that just now it feels so obvious it's kind of silly :)
Thank you Teal ❤️
hey teal... your videos have been on point I have been suffering from depression for a few days now its always on and off and your videos have helped me and by helping me you are helping my children
She has a video on depression. Idk if you've already watched it, but if not, maybe check it out? :)
+Golden Autumn thank you so much...I appreciate the support

You are my Mentor. Thank you so much for this video.
This is just what I needed to hear, thank you
Teal, this is such a good episode. 🎋
You are one smart lady. Wish I was where you describe we should be with responsibility. I have not done a good job of this.
Thank you, Teal. I needed this.
Thank you soo much Teal for your help!!! ❤️
Literally Life changing...
Hi Teal, I wanted to comment about how we switch from the circular negative thoughts like blaming and despair, to gratitude. I find the switch impossible. Like a little kid, all upset, being force to apologize to a brother or sister... He Doesn't really, Feel, sorrow. And so it is with us, we can't really feel gratitude when we are upset, and blaming. What I've found with myself, is that all we have to do, is consciously 'forgive ourselves for not being who we (supposedly) wished we were, living he life we wish we had.' I think that is a key transitional statement, from which we can then turn to things we can truly feel gratitude towards. :-) Namaste
you impress me so much Teal. Bravo!!!
Thank you ❤. Your videos deeply ungaslight and bring clarity
love this video. Ty teal n team.
This put a lot into perspective for me
Teal- I am usually turned off and run from pretty ladies trying to look all perfect but I feel like you do it in a healthy way.
Wonderful❤️ Thank you so much for your amazing insights💚
