Why Everything Was Always Your Fault (The Psychology of Entitlement)

This episode explores one of the most important concepts in perpetrator psychology and abusive relationship dynamics: the entitlement schema. If you've ever found yourself wondering: Why was everything always my fault? Why couldn't we ever resolve anything? Why did every conversation somehow end up being about me?
