Blaming NEVER works!
The Problem: One partner in a relationship repeatedly blames the other for whatever is going wrong in the relationship, for their unhappiness, etc. “Blaming” makes both partners unhappy and dissatisfied with the relationship. The person who blames tends to not want to look at their own behavior or the part they play in the problems present. The person who is blamed often feels helpless, frustrated, and shut down. The blamed partner also experiences low self-esteem and does not feel valued by their partner.
This course is designed to:
- Reduce or eliminate how often the blaming goes on.
- Reduce the anger and resentment that often occur when blaming is present.
- Reduce the frequency of critical comments made by partners.
- Empower the blamed partner so they don’t feel so helpless and victimized in the relationship
