Listen "The Ingenious Logic of Self-Sabotage: Seven Steps to Unpack Your Brilliant Childhood Defenses"
Episode Synopsis
Early wounds—often from a lack of tenderness or consistent care—can push people to build defense mechanisms that protect them from emotional pain. These defenses are clever solutions in childhood, but over time they harden into rigid patterns that restrict adult life, such as mistrust, shallow bonds, or fear of dependence.Growth starts with noticing these defenses and recognizing the logic they once had. By tracing them back to the original hurt, we can understand why they were necessary—and then make the conscious choice to set them aside when they no longer help.The heart of the process is self-knowledge. When we see our defenses clearly and acknowledge their history, we reclaim the freedom to build deeper trust, stronger connections, and a more authentic, satisfying life.Produced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
