Psychology of People Who Self-Sabotage (Do You Do This?)

This video breaks down the real psychology of self-sabotage — not as laziness, not as stupidity, and not as a character flaw — but as a survival response. If you grew up with unpredictability, inconsistent caregiving, sudden loss, poverty, or emotional instability, your nervous system may have learned a powerful rule: when things go well, something bad is coming. In this deep dive, we explore how trauma, identity, guilt, imposter syndrome, and attachment patterns all contribute to the subtle ways you undermine yourself — and why willpower alone doesn’t fix it. Because you can’t discipline away a survival strategy. 🧠 What You’ll Learn By the end of this video, you’ll understand: ✔ Why childhood unpredictability wires the brain for anticipatory anxiety ✔ How learned helplessness shapes adult self-sabotage ✔ Why success can feel threatening to your identity ✔ The link between imposter syndrome and self-handicapping behaviors ✔ How guilt and loyalty to family systems can unconsciously limit you ✔ Why relationship sabotage is often fear of abandonment in disguise ✔ Why healing self-sabotage requires nervous system safety — not more motivation If you’ve ever felt like you’re your own biggest obstacle, this will explain why.
