Being Present with Reactions - Part 5: Blaming & Being Right

Emotional reactions can be harmful to relationships. Especially when they result in blaming & the need to be right. You have to value something higher than being right or winning the argument.
When some kind of loss is involved, the reactions can get very high, resulting in a need to blame someone else. Blaming reactions often escalate into high drama, with both people pushing each other's buttons creating a chain of reactions. Waking up and bringing awareness to the moment makes the difference. It can help you to change your focus - to focus on the relationship, rather than the blaming.
