SELF-SABOTAGE: Why we do it and how to stop it.
This Jungian Life Podcast
Exploring Ambivalence, Self-Sabotage, and Fear
Ambivalence often operates at an unconscious level, manifesting as a vague awareness that can hinder progress when left unchecked. It is crucial to acknowledge fears related to life changes or career shifts, as this recognition allows individuals to confront their anxieties openly. Self-sabotage frequently aligns with a preference for safety and staying small, driven by a fear of risks associated with growth. This dynamic reflects an underlying apprehension about taking significant steps, such as becoming a homeowner. Furthermore, imposter syndrome plays a role in this process, perpetuating feelings of fraudulence despite qualifications and achievements. This inner dialogue can create an expectation of eventual humiliation or exposure in social contexts, often fueled by past experiences of witnessing humiliation in others. Such fears can invade one’s psyche, causing distress in areas where it should not exist, highlighting the significance of understanding personal secrets and the internal struggles stemming from fear of judgment or inadequacy.
