Freedom from the Blame Game
Episode description
When one person blames another person for something bad or unfortunate, and never, or rarely, attempts to own their part and find a solution, a "Blame Game" exists. Blame games are confusing, frustrating, painful, and emotionally exhausting experiences. No one wants to be in one, so why are they so common and seemingly drawn out?
A blame game will continue "UNLESS and UNTIL BOTH individuals sit with their own discomfort first," Dr. Poulter explains, emphasizing that, by accepting responsibility for our own feelings, acts, and emotions, we are courageously vulnerable, which true intimacy requires. So how can we free ourselves from an existing blame game? How do we prevent one from happening in the first place? Listen into this episode to receive specific steps you can take and never find yourself in one again!
