“Blame,” and “The Man’s” favorite power play! (PG)

Psst… “the man” wants girls to blame themselves so boys can stay in charge!

Blame and shame are more than just feelings—they’re tools “the Man” uses to keep the power dynamics in check. In this episode, we dig into how society trains women and other marginalized people to internalize guilt and men to externalize blame, shaping relationships, workplaces, and everything in between.

What is Therapy Made Me a Feminist?

Welcome to Therapy Made Me a Feminist, a channel where evidence-based practices meet personal stories about healing and finding joy after adversity. I’m a feminist therapist with lived experience navigating a high-demand religion—specifically, the LDS (Mormon) church—and I’ve seen firsthand how it affects mental health. Growing up in a mixed-faith family and conservative regions like Utah, Oklahoma, and Texas, I’ve faced my own mental health challenges, especially the weight of religious and cultural shame.

In this series, I explore the impact of patriarchal systems on mental well-being, especially within tightly-knit, faith-based communities. My goal is to uncover how these systems, often deeply ingrained in conservative cultures, affect all individuals, regardless of gender. From my therapeutic work here in Utah to my personal journey, I’m here to share insights on healing and navigating these complex spaces.
