Episode notes
Self-Sabotage as Neurosis
- Self-sabotage resembles neurosis, where the ego desires one outcome, but another part of us wants something different.
- Jung's word association experiment revealed inner conflicts through delayed or unusual responses to stimulus words.
Internalized Negative Beliefs
- The unconscious can record negative beliefs from childhood, like unworthiness or incompetence.
- These beliefs can stem from protecting a parent's image by internalizing negative qualities.
Non-Trauma Roots
- Self-sabotage isn't always rooted in childhood trauma.
- Constant praise and lack of experience with failure can create fragility and fear of imperfection.
