While you may be right, how helpful is the blame game? Usually, it just stirs up hard feelings. On this podcast, I encourage you to nix the blame game. Go away from awareness of your performance. Try becoming meta-aware. That is, look around the circumstances to understand context and perspective on what just happened. The blame game is a common pattern that mentalligent psychotherapy (MPT) addresses in my new book, The Healing Journey: Overcoming Adversity on the Path to the Good Life.
