We have a tendency to assign fault to ourselves or others, for things that go wrong both inside and outside of our control. But is it always helpful, or even accurate? Dr. Amber Labow urges us to look at ways we can build awareness and curiosity in order to arrive at more constructive and mindful solutions…and resist the urge to engage in the blame game.
“Why do I have to talk about my past when I’m dealing with a present problem that is causing me so much pain and suffering?
