Green Psychology unravels the victim/perpetrator model—a model or understanding of the world that results in self-victimization. We are not saying that there are no victims. We believe that at certain age-stages—very young and very old—we can be victims because we are dependent on our caregivers. But Green Psychology suggests that for most of us, most of the time, we are not victims. Other people do not “do things to us.” Other people are going through their lives in their own ways. We can choose to engage or not. We can set boundaries or not. We decide what we will settle for in our lives—no one else does this for us.
Going to the lab was like forming a new relationship with a new person and I’m that person.

Perhaps the strength of this work is tapping into the health of each participant, then creating options and opening a space for choices and change.

I helped myself with Perceptual Language in seeing how I stuck myself for so much of my life. In the training I ceased blaming or praising . . . yes, others, and “life,” but more importantly for me, I quit blaming myself. I quit judging myself so harshly. I began to accept and respect myself. I began to honor myself in the space I created for myself when I quit judging myself. Perceptual Language helps me make this space for myself, in the training, and since the training.
