“You make me act like this.”
“I wouldn’t feel this way if you hadn’t…”

Welcome to Projective Blaming — the psychological sleight of hand where your pain gets dumped on someone else and renamed “their fault.”

In this episode, we dig into the defence mechanism that feels like moral high ground but is actually just avoidance in a trench coat. From couples who rewrite history mid-argument, to childhood wounds that hijack adult relationships, we expose how projective blaming protects the ego — but destroys connection.

You’ll learn:

  • How projection and blame fuse when your shame feels too toxic to hold

  • Why the “villain” in your life might just be holding your mirror

  • How to tell the difference between what’s true and what’s self-protective fiction

This one is for anyone who’s ever been blamed for someone else’s chaos — or quietly blamed others for the storm inside their own soul. Don’t worry. You’re not alone. But it’s time to take your story back from the scapegoat.
