Many clients come to me having been raised as the family scape-goat. This has deep, subconscious consequences but using hypnosis, we can be freed!
Are you constantly blamed for family problems? Do you feel like the odd one out, always criticised or belittled? You might be experiencing what’s known as “scapegoat syndrome.” This form of psychological abuse, prevalent in many households, can have devastating effects on your self-esteem and mental well-being. But there is hope for breaking free from this cycle of abuse.
Growing up in a household where you’re constantly made to feel inadequate or at fault can leave deep scars. If you find yourself doubting your self-worth or feeling like the perpetual fall-guy, you may be caught in the trap of scapegoating. Often, one or more family members, especially parents, engage in a pattern of criticism, blame, and shaming, making you the target of their negative emotions.
Families driven by shame or fear often resort to scapegoating to avoid facing their own issues. Led by narcissistic parents, these families perpetuate unhealthy behaviour patterns to maintain a facade of normalcy.
Sensitive, outspoken, or non-conforming individuals are often targeted as scapegoats. Their refusal to conform to the dysfunctional family dynamic sets them apart as the designated fall-guy.
Scapegoats suffer from chronic insecurity and low self-worth, struggling to feel safe or loved. They may unconsciously repeat the cycle of abuse in other relationships, further perpetuating their victim status.
