Summary
What if you’re not actually self-sabotaging? In this episode of Tammy’s Takes , we break down one of the most misunderstood patterns in personal growth—and it might completely change the way you see yourself. Building off this week’s conversation with hypnotherapist Peter McLaughlin, Tammy dives into the truth about self-sabotage and why it’s not a sign that something is wrong with you… but a sign that your subconscious mind is trying to protect you. If you’ve ever found yourself pulling back right when things are going well, overthinking, procrastinating, or holding yourself back without understanding why—this episode will give you a powerful reframe and a simple, practical tool you can start using immediately. Because healing isn’t about fixing yourself… It’s about understanding what your mind learned—and teaching it something new. 💥 In This Episode, You’ll Learn: ✔ Why self-sabotage is actually a protection response ✔ How your subconscious patterns are formed in childhood ✔ The real reason you hold yourself back—even when you want more ✔ A simple 3-step tool to shift patterns in real time ✔ How to start working with your nervous system instead of against it 🔑 Key Takeaway: You’re not sabotaging your life. You’re protecting yourself based on outdated information—and you have the power to change that. 💛 Ready to Go Deeper?
