When She Endures Blame

Season 4 · Episode 103

Tuesday, November 4, 2025 • Duration 28:49

Lyschel Burket from HopeRedefined.org
Bonny Burns from StrongWives.com
with special guest, Cat Etherington, nakedtruthproject.com

Support HFW through a donation Listen now:

Today, Cat, Lyschel and I are tackling the very relevant topic of self-blame and victim-blaming. These are common responses to betrayal and trauma, and blame distorts the truth of what's really happening.

In this episode, we'll look at why people blame themselves, why others sometimes shift blame onto victims, and how these patterns affect healing. By raising awareness, we can challenge harmful narratives and move toward healthier, more accurate ways of understanding of where the responsibility truly lies.

We Will be Discussing:

Let's define what types of blame we are focusing on in this episode?
What is the role of empathy in feeling responsible for blame?
How do we give back the responsibility so we don't hold blame?
What hope can we leave with our listeners?

Our topic of discussion, today, is how a woman can heal when fantasy was a part of his acting out behaviors? This type of fantasy is more than just an innocent daydream anticipating your upcoming vacation, Patrick Carnes, in his book Out of the Shadows, defines fantasy as, "…the altered [mental] state where anticipation and planning override conscience and consequence." In other words, this type of fantasy goes against values and ignores the relational consequences that can come if this fantasy is acted out.

We Will be Discussing:

Definitions of fantasy
What about fantasy impacts a partner so greatly?
How does comparison play into this scenario for her?
