In episode 15, Dan and Matt discuss a couple forms of self-sabotage that they frequently see in the clientele they work with (and in themselves).   Dan focuses in on the bad habit of responding to compliments with negativity, judgment, and/or resistance.  Matt describes the challenges of trying to be supportive when working with a help-rejecting-complainer.  It’s a bit of shorter episode, and these are topics worthy of revisiting.

Call to action: When someone compliments you, pause, resist the urge to deflect or be self-critical, then just express gratitude for the positive feedback.
