Today, Cat, Lyschel and I are tackling the very relevant topic of self-blame and victim-blaming. These are common responses to betrayal and trauma, and blame distorts the truth of what's really happening.

In this episode, we'll look at why people blame themselves, why others sometimes shift blame onto victims, and how these patterns affect healing. By raising awareness, we can challenge harmful narratives and move toward healthier, more accurate ways of understanding of where the responsibility truly lies.

We Will be Discussing:

  1. Let's define what types of blame we are focusing on in this episode?
  2. What is the role of empathy in feeling responsible for blame?
  3. How do we give back the responsibility so we don't hold blame?
  4. What hope can we leave with our listeners?
