Why Do I Always Blame Myself?

Why do you always feel like everything is your fault? In this video, licensed therapist Kati Morton reveals the hidden psychology behind self-blame—and how to break free from it. You’ll learn why your brain chooses guilt over powerlessness, how childhood “magical thinking” shapes your adult relationships, and three powerful strategies to stop blaming yourself: The Evidence Collection Method, Reparenting Your Inner Child, and Setting Emotional Boundaries. If you struggle with overthinking, guilt, people-pleasing, or carrying the emotional weight of others, this step-by-step guide will help you shift from self-blame to self-compassion.
