Blame feels good—for a moment. But over time, it chips away at trust, prevents growth, and creates emotional distance in even the closest relationships.
In this episode of The Voyage Cast, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Eddie Eccker breaks down the hidden cost of blame and how it becomes a defensive reflex that shields us from vulnerability but isolates us from connection.
We explore:
- Why blame is so emotionally seductive
- How it shows up in marriages, parenting, and communication
- What blame is actually protecting (spoiler: it’s not your relationship)
- How to move from accusation to ownership—and from disconnection to repair
If you’re tired of the same arguments, miscommunication, or emotional shutdowns in your relationships, this episode offers a roadmap out of blame and back toward healing.
Because real connection starts where finger-pointing stops.
