The Self-Rejector

The self-sabotaging cycle is designed to get that external rejection to stop no matter the consequence to the self as well. It's modus is to control others' behavior or gain power over their behavior. We're going to look at the case of Martin, a man whose father left when he was two years old. He felt rejected not only by dad, but also by mom. So how did Martin keep himself safe? He created an internal self-rejector and internalized it. But soon his real colors start to show and then it's a death spiral from there.
