#31 Blame and Your Self-Compassion

Have you ever been blamed for something you didn't do. Or have you ever blamed yourself for something and can't stop that nagging feeling? If we can’t process our own negative thoughts and feelings we get stuck. We lashout, withdraw or some other default behavior that doesn't serve us rather than turn in and face the uncomfortable feeling we don’t want to feel. Blaming and complaining are symptoms of unresolved hurt. This gives us a short term addictive high yet the nagging feeling and the sneaky thoughts associated with the discomfort prevail. In this podcast episode we explore how to deal with the blame we feel from others and our own blame as well. We then dive into self-care. Do you see self-care as after-care? Do you wait until the let-down, crisis, or doubt sets in and then try to play catch-up to snap you out of feeling inadequate. Do you think there is something wrong with you because this pattern keeps happening to you? Learn new ways of practicing self-care so you can manage your chaotic emotions and don’t lose our self-control. Get free tools at www.MaryLeeGannon.com
