About This Article
Arthur Schopenhauer’s philosophy on attachment and suffering can offer valuable insights for scam victims dealing with emotional trauma. He believed that human suffering is rooted in attachments to desires, people, or material things, which are inherently impermanent.
For scam victims, emotional recovery involves recognizing that their attachment to the illusion of what was lost—whether money, relationships, or trust—is the source of their suffering. By accepting life’s impermanence, practicing detachment, and focusing inward, victims can find emotional freedom and begin healing from the trauma of their experience.
