Why Victims Suffer Shame & Blame: How to Overcome & Forgive

Victim blaming creates a secondary trauma for those who have already survived violence, adding unnecessary pain to their healing journey. 

• More than half of all women experience at least one traumatic event in their lifetime
• Women experience PTSD at nearly double the rate of men (10-12% vs 5-6%)
• Over 90% of women reporting any traumatic event have experienced multiple traumas
• Victim blaming occurs when people hold victims responsible for crimes committed against them
• This harmful psychological mechanism helps observers maintain an illusion of control
• The "precipitation theory" explains why we focus on victims' actions rather than perpetrators
• Our culture subtly reinforces victim blaming through messages about empowerment and prevention
• PTSD healing progresses through five stages: impact, denial, recoil, integration, and recovery
• Forgiveness significantly improves mental and physical health
• True forgiveness means letting go of resentment without excusing harmful behavior

I encourage everyone to silence the voices of blame – from others and from within – and work toward forgiveness as a daily practice. It won't erase what happened, but it can free you from the prison of unforgiveness and improve your health and wellbeing.
