Why You Keep Self-Sabotaging (And How to Stop)

In this episode we explore self-sabotage as a nervous-system driven protection rather than a failure of will. You’ll learn how dopamine, reward prediction errors and cortisol create a cycle of spikes and crashes that push you back to familiar safety.

Practical tools are offered to slow the crash, celebrate micro-wins, replace avoidance with grounding, and build small repeatable routines so your brain learns that steady progress is safe. The goal is to shift from shame to curiosity and to build trust with your system one small action at a time.
