In a 12 step program I am completely obligated to take my responsibility for ‘my side of the street’. It’s ‘challenging’ if you have destroyed your life.
Absolutely incredible videos in general, so making this comment feels a bit like visiting a marvelous mansion, only to remark on anatomy of the owner's dog and pondering how great the fluffy creature would look on a painting. But the quote at 8:20 is incredible: it packs remarkable wisdom and linguistic aesthetic. Thank you for sharing it! "Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." I mean, cmon. Other quotes can complain all they want, but this one is going on a prime spot on the mental shelf.
I'm a teacher. This video was extremely useful when I had to deal with parents that were stuck in complaining protector mode. It all makes sense now. Thanks! I think I actually got through to them this time. Go figure.
OMG this is one of my strongest modes :( I had never heard of this one! Is this something you conceptualiced? because I had never read about this before, its not on Jeffreys book and none of my teachers said anything about this mode. Thanks a lot
This sounds like narcissistic abuse. Or blaming the victim. It feels like being accused of ‘playing the victim card’ or ‘having a pity party’. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t 😢
You do need to have healthy support from outside the situation to assess what you actually can influence and what is just really unfair and you're allowed to be upset and angry for it.
Brilliant delivery no nonsense straight talk. Look forward to seeing your next video thank you from Ireland.

Would someone with this be that angry? Sounds almost like a narcissistic trait
