Deep dives

Understanding Self-Sabotage

Self-sabotage often occurs subconsciously, compelling individuals to engage in self-destructive behaviors without conscious intent. This mindset can be frustrating, as most people genuinely desire to succeed rather than undermine their own efforts. The complexities of self-sabotage stem from various influences, such as self-hatred or a lack of self-respect, which may lead individuals to feel unworthy of good outcomes. Additionally, an ongoing cycle of negative thoughts can further entrench self-sabotaging behaviors, making it difficult to break free from this pattern.
