Listen "Unlocking the Secrets of Self-Sabotage"
Episode Synopsis
What if procrastination, perfectionism, and people-pleasing weren’t personal flaws—but trauma responses?
In this powerful solo episode of Unlock Your Blocks, trauma-informed life strategist Elyssa Smith explores the hidden roots of self-sabotage. She breaks down how big T, little t, and what she calls “tiny t” trauma shape our behaviors and belief systems—especially when those emotional needs go unmet in childhood.
If you've ever wondered why you keep getting in your own way, this episode will offer clarity, compassion, and tools for healing. Elyssa helps you uncover what your survival brain is trying to protect you from—and how to reclaim your power with rest, support, and rewired beliefs.
✅ What You’ll Learn:
The difference between big T, little t, and tiny t trauma
How self-sabotage is a protective mechanism of the survival brain
Why childhood programming can lead to adult patterns like procrastination and people-pleasing
What it means to ask: “What feels unsafe about this?”
Why rest is a biological need, not a weakness
How to begin rewiring beliefs that no longer serve you
The role of professional support in healing and growth
Why self-acceptance is a non-negotiable in mental and emotional health
