Survivors often carry the weight of guilt, asking what they could have done differently. But healing begins when you realize the truth: what happened to you was not your fault. Responsibility belongs to the one who caused the harm, never the one who endured it.
Trauma often implants self-blame in survivors. Breaking free from this false belief is a critical step in recovery. Affirmations, therapy, and supportive communities help survivors separate responsibility from guilt. Healing begins with placing blame where it truly belongs — on the abuser, not the survivor.
