Why You Feel Like Everything Is Your Fault: Healing Self-Blame Spirals

If your inner monologue is constantly whispering, “Did I do something wrong?” This one’s for you.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into relational anxiety that shows up as self-blame. You know the one: where you feel responsible for everyone else’s mood, you apologize before anyone says a word, and conflict makes you want to disappear.

Maybe your default is “It’s all my fault,” even when it’s not. That pattern is what keeps you from feeling comfortable being yourself in the world; it keeps you on alert, and it waters down your relationships. This episode is all about overcoming shame and self-blame, and why it's so important to heal your relationships.

We'll explore:

The roots of self-blame and hyper-responsibility in relationships
How over-apologizing and people-pleasing quietly erode intimacy
What’s actually going on in your nervous system when you spiral
The difference between shame and guilt and why it matters
How to hold your emotional reality and your partner’s without collapsing
Practical tools to break the “it’s all my fault” loop, build self-trust, and come back to your center

You’ll also hear some of my own stories around this pattern: how it showed up in past dynamics and how I’ve worked with it through somatic and relational healing.

If you often wonder…

→ “Are they mad at me?”

→ “Why do I feel so responsible for how everyone else feels?”

→ “How can I express my needs without feeling like a burden?”

… This conversation will help you feel seen and supported, and offer real practices to help you shift the dynamic.
