Self-Sabotage Is Protection
When you procrastinate, avoid, or lash out — part of you is trying to protect you.
Ask this:
- “What fear might be underneath this?”
- “What am I protecting myself from?”
- “What do I need to feel safer to move forward?”
This approach builds insight without shame.
Understanding the “why” helps change the “what.”
