When something goes wrong, why does my brain immediately blame me, and then get resentful about being blamed? How do I stop it doing that?

<3 This is some of what I meant when I was talking, the other week, about it being okay to resent the shit out of therapy ("I'm alREADY too aware of my feelings, that's the PROBLEM, what do you MEAN it'll help to pay more attention to them") buuuuut there's a lot of good evidence (which I'll dig up if you like!) that this kind of emotional validation is a really effective tool!
