Episode Description
Even if we know it intellectually not to be true, trauma, abuse, and neglect survivors internalize blame when they are mistreated, particularly those who suffer from childhood abuses and narcissistic abuses. Knowing the difference between blame and self-validation, finding the balance between knowing what happened to you and taking ownership of healing, and finding the line between self-compassion and victim mindsets can make all the difference in your healing journey. It's important to know that two things can be true at once:

• Abuse is never your fault AND you can take ownership of your healing journey.
• You are enough AND feeling like it is your fault is normal when you've experienced abuse.
• You can acknowledge what happened to you AND not live in blame or victim mentalities.
