Nobody wants to be labeled a victim, yet most of us can feel victimized when aspects of our life seem out of control and we cannot change the situations or people we are dealing with.Although nothing is wrong with feeling victimized, the problem starts when the sense of powerlessness that comes with it becomes our identity - when we believe that life is done to us and that we don’t create our own reality.We stop trying to change - and even worse, stop believing in ourselves.This week’s episode of Empowerment Solutions explores why we end up in perpetual victim mode and how to grow beyond it.Learn the four common signs of victim mode and how to overcome them.Meet Dr. Friedemann:Friedemann Schaub, MD, PhD, is the award-winning author of The Fear + Anxiety Solution.

We all project our beliefs and opinions on one another. Suppose you have always been overly concerned about your body weight or struggled with self-esteem. As a result, you may harshly judge strangers for being overweight or dismiss people’s confidence as arrogant and condescending. Of course, the reverse is also true. The behaviors and judgments of those who shamed you are based on the fabric of their subconsciousBeliefs, and therefore, say much more about them than you. This is why we can’t take other people’s opinions, good or bad, personally.So whenever shame arises, ask yourself, whether the judgment or criticism from others is truly a reflection on you or whether it is just a projection from them.When you no longer need to hide behind the invisibility cloak of shame to feel safe, you can cultivate a stronger relationship with yourself and develop a greater capacity for compassion and empathy towards others who may still be trapped in their own shame and self-doubt.Join me for this liberating episode on

There are four boundaries that we can observe in order to become more independent, and do not give our power away by constantly feeling the need to please others. Those four boundaries are:External boundaries (ex. Saying "no")Internal boundaries (ex. No longer ruminating on people or circumstances)Releasing imprints (ex. Old survival patterns)Forcefield of compassion (ex. Recognizing someone's pain, and their capability to overcome it themselves)In this visualization, I will introduce and guide you through the four boundaries to help you stop pleasing others at the expense of your own health and happiness.Friedemann Schaub, MD, PhD, is the award-winning author of The Fear + Anxiety Solution.

If you are a self-declared people pleaser, you probably feel more often than not tired of constantly putting others' needs before your own. But even if you find that you have no energy or time to give to others, you most likely find it difficult to say ‘no’ (or at least ‘not now’). Disappointing others is much harder for you than letting yourself down. So what will it take to shift the focus away from other people’s needs and wants onto your own?Listen to this week's episode to find out.If you have questions about any of the topics that I am sharing in these episodes, join me weekly on Mondays over on my Instagram channel - @dr.friedemannschaub - for Instagram Live, where I will be sharing tips, tools, and strategies on topics like this and more.

In this episode of Empowerment Solutions, I discuss the downsides of people-pleasing and how it can affect our mental health and sense of self-worth. I explore the reasons why we might become people-pleasers, from family dynamics to a need for validation and attention. As someone who has personally struggled with people-pleasing, I share my own experiences and insights on how to overcome it and live a more authentic and fulfilling life. I believe that by learning to prioritize our own well-being and let go of the need to please others, we can break free from people-pleasing and achieve greater happiness. Join me in this episode to broaden your understanding of this matter and learn strategies to conquer people-pleasing.Friedemann Schaub, MD, PhD, is the award-winning author of The Fear + Anxiety Solution.

As you begin the journey to self-improvement and emotional healing, it's important not just to identify what has been making life difficult but also think about how far we want our growth and healing process to take us. Anxiety is something many of us have personally experienced or seen close up; and for those struggling with this intense emotion, it can be a daunting challenge to address. Rather than simply trying "to get rid of" anxiety - which may seem impossible at times - focus on setting achievable goals that will guide you along your path towards outgrowing and overcoming your anxiety. Join me today and learn how taking small steps each day can make your healing possible.Friedemann Schaub, MD, PhD, is the award-winning author of The Fear + Anxiety Solution.

Our inner critic can be a real Debbie Downer, who can make us feel deflated and trapped. But we don't have to let negative self-talk rule our thoughts and spoil our day. By recognizing the common negative thinking patterns, we can challenge them and replace them with more realistic and positive perspectives. Although shifting out of habitual self-criticism won’t happen overnight, the good news if you counter-balance just two or three negative thoughts per day, within a couple of weeks, your inner critic's voice will diminish by 70%-80%.The problem is that you may not always know how to challenge the inner critic, which is why in this week’s podcast episode, I’ll show you 4 effective ways to respond to negative thoughts.So don't let that inner critic hold you back, and give yourself permission to think positively and treat yourself with more kindness starting today. The power to change is in our hands - and minds.NEW ONLINE COURSE:I am excited to announce my upcoming online course, "From Anxiety to Empowe

Did you know that our anxiety often stems from our early life experiences? When we were rejected, scolded, or neglected as children, our subconscious was startled and created a new set of beliefs to protect us. This can lead us down one of two paths - the avoidance track where we stay away from potential harm, or the pleasing track where we seek approval from those who are supposed to protect and nourish us. Although anxiety may seem like an insurmountable obstacle, it can actually be a powerful catalyst for growth and self-discovery. By understanding the root causes of your anxiety and learning how to switch it off, you can transform your fear into fuel and unlock your true purpose in life. So don't let anxiety hold you back any longer.

Let me ask you, how often do you feel that all you can do is just to get through the day — overwhelmed by your daily obligations, stuck in situations that feel impossible to change, or victimized by people you can’t control or even by your own anxiety?Welcome to the club; considering that anxiety and stress have been called ‘the epidemic of the 21st century,’ you are certainly not alone. To help us cope with life’s challenges, our subconscious mind comes to the rescue by employing two survival modes, avoiding and pleasing. Both strategies aim to protect us from what the subconscious considers dangerous threats, such as hurt, criticism, ridicule, rejection, failure, and abandonment. How do we switch out of these patterns? Join me on this week's episode of Empowerment Solutions, where I talk about how to turn our survival patterns into keys to authentic self-empowerment.
