Self-sabotage is a combination of thoughts, feelings, and actions that actually block our success by working against our own self-interests. It involves an over focus on our negative aspects and our failures.

People tend to operate from a set of core beliefs that drive our attitudes and perceptions of ourselves. Some of our core beliefs create and re-create situations and experiences that perpetuate a negative view of ourselves and lower our self-esteem.

The awareness of the irrationality of these thoughts can be frustrating as the individual wishes to stop them but cannot. They may blame themselves for negative events, believe that such events are unavoidable, and let such events affect many aspects of their lives.

Our Preventing Self-Sabotage Classes teach people to identify and change the core beliefs driving them and stop repeating negative outcomes.

Self-sabotage, including self-hatred and self-punishment, can lead to depression and a variety of mental disorders as well as physical illnesses.
