Here are some practices I often share with clients—and use myself—when blame or doubt show up:

• Compassionate Self-Talk When you hear that harsh inner voice, pause. Ask yourself: “If someone I loved said this to me, what would I say back?” Offer yourself the same kindness.
• Grounding the Body Place your bare feet on the earth. Breathe deeply. Stretch. Remind your nervous system: I am safe in this moment.
• Reframing the Story Instead of “I should have known better,” try: “I did the best I could with what I knew then—and now I know more.”
• Releasing What Isn’t Yours Notice the burdens you may be carrying that don’t belong to you. Visualize handing them back, or placing them gently into the earth.
• Daily Affirmations Whisper to yourself: “I am worthy. I am growing. I release perfection. My healing unfolds in its own time.”
• Seeking Support You don’t have to walk this path alone. Lean on friends, loved ones, or trusted practitioners who can remind you of your strength when you forget.

Returning to Wholeness

Self-blame fractures the spirit. Self-doubt dims your light. But the moment you begin to soften those patterns—even a little—you start to remember your wholeness.

You are not broken. You are not behind. You are already whole, even as you heal.

Healing isn’t about never doubting yourself again. It’s about meeting yourself—exactly where you are—with compassion, patience, and presence. It’s about remembering that love has always been within you, and that it will guide you, one step at a time.
