SELF-SABOTAGE: Why we do it and how to stop it.
This Jungian Life Podcast
Understanding Internalized Negative Beliefs
Internalized negative beliefs about ourselves often stem from early childhood experiences, particularly from fraught relationships with parents. In such situations, children tend to protect their parents by internalizing negative qualities and blaming themselves for relationship problems. As adults, we may hold onto feelings of incompetence or unworthiness, seeking to validate these beliefs in our interactions. Challenging these assumptions can feel threatening as it goes against the ingrained self-image. This self-perception influences how we behave in the world, often leading to a cycle of confirming these negative beliefs. Failing to uphold these beliefs can trigger anxiety about how it might impact our other relationships, creating inner turmoil.
