Video 11 - How to Get Over Being Scammed - How This Happened

Please "like" this video, add a comment if you have thoughts you want to share, and subscribe to this channel to be notified when I add more videos or information.
This is the eleventh video in a series that was created to help people who have been scammed, and who are having a hard time getting over it. Healing from being scammed is difficult and many people beat themselves up for a long time afterwards.
If you are telling yourself that you are stupid and feeling a lot of shame, you are NOT alone. These are the most common and most difficult parts of the psychological recovery after you have been scammed.
In these videos, which are based on my book (linked below), you will find coping strategies and ways to find healing for yourself.
This video is about how scams happen so easily - tricks that scammers use and why they are so effective.
Here's a link to get the book on Amazon, "The Emotional Impact of Being Scammed and How to Recover": www.amazon.com/Emotional-Impa...
Also, check out the website I've created, that has other resources you may find helpful, including (soon) a video series for family and friends, another for advocates, and a third for mental health providers. Here is the link to the website: www.ScamSurvivorHealing.com.
You can reach me through that website above.
Thanks for listening, and I hope you find healing and feel better soon!
All my best,
Cathy Wilson, LPC

I lost my wife and was grieving and they used that for their greed. I hope there is a hell for these scumbags.

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your wife. It is so despicable that scammers use situations like this to exploit a person and take advantage. :-(

Thank you for your work; it speaks to me so greatly. I was fortunate enough that I did not loose any money because I refuse to give in into another yes.

thanks for this... it made me think logically ❤

Keep working on that, and keep remembering that those criminals are just way too good at this and they take advantage of a lot more people than we know about. I firmly believe that in the right circumstances, ANYONE can be scammed.

My scamner was insidious he used religion to influence me. I was not involved in a romance but because l am married. The pretended to a member of my religious group. He used me like charity bank

That sounds awful and it seems to me that the way they did it has added an extra layer of betrayal by using your faith. I hope these videos have been helpful to you and I wish you all the best! Cathy
