Why Do I Do It? Understand and Overcome Self-Sabotage

Welcome back to A Slice of Life - the Anxiety Master podcast with British-registered psychotherapist Dominic Decker.

Today's episode explores the concept of self-sabotage and the underlying drivers that keep us tethered to harmful or unhelpful behaviours

Have you ever found yourself puzzled by your own behaviours or decisions?

Perhaps you can think of a time when you:

• Haphazardly rushed in to help, only to later regret it.
• Made a snap purchase for a shiny new thing you likely knew was rubbish.
• Sabotaged your health goals for a quick fast-food guzzle.
• Engaged in an impulsive online spat, only to feel yucky afterwards.
• 
  

All sorts of impulses and motivations drive our actions, and sometimes, what we do may surprise and confound us. 

Understanding the why behind your actions reveals much about your emotional undercurrents and how they drive you toward or, indirectly, away from your deeper desires.

This episode will help you uncover the psychological drivers behind confusing behaviours so that you can begin to identify and manage your primary needs.
