SELF-SABOTAGE: Why we do it and how to stop it.
This Jungian Life Podcast
Understanding Ambivalence Toward Achieving Goals
Setting goals can lead to feelings of ambivalence when approaching their attainment. As we get closer to achieving a goal, the realization of the responsibilities and expectations that come with it can create a sense of reluctance or doubt. For instance, aiming to buy a home may initially seem appealing, but the awareness of tax payments, maintenance tasks, and social obligations can trigger ambivalence. This inner conflict can unconsciously drive a person to sabotage their own progress, as they may find that the goal requires more than they initially anticipated and may conflict with their true desires.
