Understanding Self-Sabotage

Self-sabotage is when you get in your own way despite having a certain goal, whether it's related to health, career, relationships, or other aspects of life. Recognizing this pattern is crucial, and there are scientific tools that can help overcome it. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is one effective intervention that focuses on building psychological flexibility. It combines cognitive behavioral therapy with eastern elements of acceptance and living a value-based life. ACT techniques include mindfulness, experiential acceptance, cognitive diffusion, self-as-context, committed action, and values. By practicing these techniques, individuals can better understand and address their self-sabotage patterns.
