Show Notes
Five paralyzing consequences of self-blame... You were blamed as a child so it's become part of your own punishing self-critic which can lead to self-sabotage. You were manipulated or are being abused and you take the blame to "keep the peace" and become submissive. You take the blame for something that's happened to you in order to irrationally regain some sense of control. You're perfectionistic and are constantly looking for even the smallest of mistakes that your inner critic pounces on to shame and blame you. You need affirmation so you take blame that doesn't belong to you as a way of getting that kind of attention.

Today’s episode of SelfWork was suggested by the last episode of Ted Lasso, in which Rebecca talked about grief and the messy feelings it can bring with it. Rebecca tells Ted, "We laugh, we hurt, we fall, we get back up. We're a mess. And that is… fantastic. Because being messy just means being alive. And we could all do with being a bit more alive." Or… not. Some people fear this messiness – they much prefer staying in control. And I understand and respect that. And yet… if you’re one of those people, if you’ve never allowed yourself to feel all of what you can feel, I’d like to propose the idea that if fear is keeping you away those emotions, then that can become its own trap.
