Finding self help overwhelming

Have you ever felt just like real healing or real self love or real love in general, is always out of reach?
If you've watched videos on confidence, read many books on healing anxiety , minimizing PTSD symptoms, etc..but it's always all on YOU. Changing my entire blueprint is Extremely difficult. A blueprint of trauma, violence, fear. I'm trying to give myself compassion. That's super hard too, I lived on eggshells daily for many years.( Not To laugh, or even allowed to Talk sometimes.)
I read it's our responsibility to try to diminish the trauma, but when you have to figure out an entire SELF, and develop your own self love, it's overwhelming sometimes. I occasionally think, can love ever come from anywhere else, and what if ever feeling normal is out of my reach???

I have a manta i try to keep running in my head , it wasn't my fault ,i did nothing wrong I'm not to blame , i didn't deserve it . Over and over and over until it becomes ingrained into my consciousness. I think that is the first step ,the most important step , and yes my mind comes up with a hundred reasons why it could be my fault ,i l look at each reason and discount it .It's even harder because in everyday life we see that other people don't hurt their kids of grind them down mentally, so it must have been me .These are the seeds they planted in us and like a bad weed they are so hard to get rid of . Accepting that it's in no way our fault is the foundation that we can build self confidence.
