Why Do I Take Everything So Personally? Breaking the Self-Blame Cycle | Blame Series – Part 2

Episode 141: Have you ever taken one comment so personally that it made you question yourself? Jenny explores why our brains can quickly turn feedback, criticism or misunderstandings into self-blame, and how old experiences can make us believe we're the problem in this episode of The Self-Belief podcast,. You'll learn the difference between taking responsibility versus feeling like you are in the wrong, with simple questions that can help you pause, reflect and respond with greater self-belief.
