Understanding Self-Sabotage and Anxiety in High Achievers | Albert Bramante
In this powerful episode of Overcome, Travis White sits down with Albert Bramante, a psychologist, talent agent, and author, to explore self-sabotage and high-achiever anxiety—and why so many driven, capable people get stuck just before breakthrough.
Albert shares how the brain’s need for safety can lead to self-defeating behaviors, fear of success, procrastination, and high-functioning anxiety, especially in high-pressure careers like entrepreneurship, performance, and leadership. Drawing from his doctoral research and real-world experience, he explains how trauma, mindset, and identity shape our ability to move forward.
Together, Travis and Albert discuss how to recognize when you’re operating on autopilot, why awareness is the first step toward healing, and practical tools to stop getting in your own way. This conversation offers both insight and hope for anyone who feels stuck despite working hard and doing “all the right things.”
If you’ve ever felt held back by fear, anxiety, or self-doubt, this episode will help you understand what’s really happening—and how to change it.
