Ep. 16: Being a Victim vs. Playing One with Mark Crandall, LMSW, LCDC

In this episode, I speak with Mark Crandall, LMSW, LCDC, keynote speaker, business consultant, transformational coach, Author of Embrace Your Past Win Your Future, and the host two Podcasts: Purpose Chasers and Addiction Treatment 101. He went from a lost boy with countless traumatic experiences to a highly sought-after Clinical interventionist. We discuss victim mentality and the important distinction between being a victim vs. playing one, the importance of accepting and finding the positive in the struggles life gives us, and how lack of motivation is now what’s holding us back from having the life we want.

We discuss:

• Victim mentality and the important distinction between being a victim vs. playing one.
• An important shift in terms of how we view and approach any form of therapy or coaching.
• The importance of not just accepting the struggle, but finding the positive in it.
• How the real issue preventing us from having the lives we want is not lack of motivation, but rather lack of belief in ourselves.
• Accountability and its relationship with the concept of surrender.
