How do you heal as the former scapegoat?

Im reading The Body Keeps the Score — about healing the mind and body from trauma! very very helpful! another, slightly unorthodox thing that has helped me specifically as a scapegoat has been educating myself about scapegoats in history/society. Try looking it up, scapegoats throughout time are almost always the hero’s/peacekeepers /& (positive) leaders (example- ghandi, MLK, ((scapegoated in media/society)) remind yourself of this! its really helping me. Its a massive thing to realize, and brings quite a heavy responsibility (at least this is what it made me feel), as many of the scapegoats in history have faced literal death due to their outspoken, rise against nature. But im not trying to say go out & be the next XYZ, just trying to say that us scapegoats are picked out for a beautifully powerful reason. Dont forget to keep finding /shinning that light withinnnn
