Why We Feel Shame After a Toxic Relationship (It’s NOT Your Fault)

Why do we feel shame after a toxic relationship, even when we weren’t the ones who caused the harm?

If you’ve ever felt ashamed for staying too long, missing red flags, ignoring yellow flags, or loving someone who hurt you — this video is for you. Shame after emotional abuse, narcissistic relationships, and toxic dynamics is incredibly common, yet rarely talked about honestly.

In this video, I share a vulnerable conversation about the shame, embarrassment, self-blame, and self-questioning that often follow toxic relationships. I open up about replaying red flags, wondering why I didn’t leave sooner, and how that internal shame kept me stuck longer than the relationship itself.

Shame has a way of convincing us that we did something wrong — even when we were simply trying to love, survive, or see the good in someone. It can damage self-trust, delay healing, and make it harder to move forward after emotional abuse or narcissistic relationships.

This video isn’t about blaming the other person.
It’s about your healing, your clarity, and your peace.

This is what Living Loved means to me:
✨ Compassion with boundaries
✨ Self-love without self-abandonment
✨ Choosing peace over proving your worth

If you’re ready to release shame, rebuild self-trust, and reclaim your self-worth after a toxic relationship, I hope this video supports you on that journey.
