Releasing the Burden of Self-Blame: Reclaiming Your Truth and Inner Clarity

In this powerful conversation, Malisa Hepner and Angie Hawkins explore how growing up around narcissistic traits shapes self-perception, emotional safety, and the tendency to internalize blame. They discuss the lifelong impact of being conditioned to doubt your own reality, the unraveling of ingrained beliefs, and the transformative process of cultivating discernment. Together, they illuminate what it takes to reclaim your truth, rebuild self-trust, and understand where your responsibility ends and someone else's begins.

Begin practicing discernment over default self-blame. When a triggering situation arises, pause and ask three grounding questions:

1. Is this actually my responsibility, or am I reverting to old conditioning?
   
   

2. What evidence supports my perception in this moment?
   
   

3. What would I believe if I trusted myself fully?
   
   

Then, take one aligned action—journaling, setting a boundary, or simply naming the truth out loud—to reinforce your new pattern. If this episode supported your healing, consider donating to help us continue creating conversations that empower trauma survivors and deepen collective understanding.
