151. Self-Sabotage Is Not Real (Here’s What’s Really Happening)

37 minutes

If you’ve ever said ‘I’m such a self-sabotager’…We want to challenge that today. The thing is, we don’t actually believe in “self-sabotage” - we don’t think it’s real. What we do believe to be true is there are things happening unconsciously that are causing you to hold yourself back - which is what we’ll be diving into in today’s episode!

P.s. It’s launch week! Doors are now open to our Ending Body Burnout Method program for 1-week only. If you’d love our help to guide you in your healing journey (and break through “self-sabotage” blocks!), come and join us here! We also have FREE workshops happening this week, if you’d like to get a feel for what it’s like to work with us inside the Method - sign up to the events here!

In today’s episode, Chris & Filly talk about:

Why holding onto the label “self-sabotage” is harmful

Why self-sabotage is actually self-protection and the ultimate form of love

How these patterns show up when the unconscious mind feels and unsafe - and what is at the root of feeling unsafe

Working with the part of you that feels scared/unsure/doubtful

How “self-sabotage” shows up in health and healing

Self-enquiry questions to ask yourself, so you can move forward to create what you want
