Isn't the "switch" just self-awareness? Or maybe just a kind of common sense. Ultimately, we all make our own choices, and live with the consequences. When we blame others, the "blame" is what we call the act of deflecting responsibility for our actions. When we say we are forced to do something, isn't that no more than saying that we said yes in order to avoid a consequence that we thought was worse?
