In relationships, you may be right about what they did — and still be stuck in a pattern that keeps repeating.

They lied.

They shut down.

They disappeared.

They betrayed you.

And it still may not be the whole story.

In this episode of We Need To Talk, Dr. Darcy Sterling is joined by New York Times bestselling author Gary John Bishop for a conversation about blame, personal responsibility, repeated relationship patterns, and the difference between owning your part and taking the blame for someone else’s behavior.

Together, they get into:

• Why being right about the injury does not always move you forward

• How blame can become the thing your life is organized around

• Why personal responsibility is not self-blame

• How the stories you rehearse can shape how you move through the world

• What happens when relationships turn into scorekeeping

Your pain may be real.

Their behavior may be real.

And blame may still be deciding what happens next.
