This podcast episode delves into the concept of self-sabotage, a pattern of harmful habits that undermine our goals and well-being. It explores the psychological underpinnings of self-sabotaging behaviors, including childhood trauma, negative self-beliefs, and maladaptive coping mechanisms. Recognizing the signs of self-sabotage is crucial, such as blaming others, giving up easily, and seeking conflict. By understanding these causes and manifestations, we can develop strategies to overcome self-sabotage, including self-awareness, challenging negative thoughts, building healthy coping skills, and seeking support from others.
