We give away a lot of details so be advised.
We’re back at it again to talk about You (Netflix) season four, through the lens of a listener. We may not be psychologists or therapists but we are listeners and we made sure to not only approach this season as a viewer, but also consider how the show was impacting us internally.
Press play and listen to us delve in to the following takeaways:
To gain a better understanding of the episode here is a list of helpful terms we use and how we define those terms:
Duality: When two contradicting or different emotions, ideas, thoughts, or identities exist at the same time.
Identity: It's who you are; how you view yourself; the roles you play in relationships with others. How you define yourself. The adjectives you would use to describe yourself to another
Narrative: The story you tell yourself about others and the world around you. The story you tell yourself about yourself.
Savior Complex: When someone believes that they must sacrifice themselves (could be mentally, emotionally, physically, or in terms of their resources) on behalf of another without necessarily the consent of the person or people they are trying to save.
Victim Mentality: When someone thinks or feels that bad things keep happening to them, and are unable to see the role they play. So, they refuse to take ownership and only blame others and outside circumstances.
Witnessing: When you observe an individual's thoughts, reflections, and ideas while suspending judgment. It is the space where you acknowledge and allow another to be human while meeting them with Grace, Mercy, Kindness, and Gentleness (GMKG). This means any response you give to the person who is sharing must come from a place of GMKG. The focus is on the other person and not yourself.
