Getting out of our own way is required to heal from the instinct and behaviour of Self Sabotage!
Self sabotage can be a way we attempt to protect ourselves from further despair or hurt. When in reality we end up creating increased amounts of pain and suffering for ourselves to miss out on opportunities or experiences. This is often due to fear of the unknown (and the idea of something that feels out of our control).
We need to understand the underlying reason (the unmet need) that exists for why the self sabotage exists in the first place.
Awareness: What is your ambivalence? —What are you being pushed and pulled from?
Challenging yourself: What are you trying to protect yourself from? —- What part of you is active in fear?—- What is preventing you from feeling safe in the uncomfortable?
