In this episode we discuss how self sabotage is our ego protecting us from a situation where we have been hurt in the past, and how we can look at those behaviours through a different lens, to gain clarity. We touched on: 1)  How our brain doesn’t know the difference between emotional and physical pain, and it tries to protect us from both.

2) Looking at our self sabotaging behaviours not through a lens of guilt and shame and “what’s wrong with you - why can’t you just get this done?”  But instead through a lens of curiosity and compassion and understanding what your brain is trying to protect you from.

3) How our enneagram can play a role in, and help us understand some of our core fears. And how our brain uses these fears or past hurts, to protect us from getting hurt again. 4) The podcast episode we reference was from The Kristin Boss Podcast - and was episode #147 - Understanding Self Sabotage
