Do you ever push people away, overthink everything, or ruin good connections without meaning to?
That’s not because you’re broken — it’s self-sabotage.
In this episode of Mind + Motive, we dive into why so many of us unconsciously destroy healthy relationships… and how to finally break the cycle.
Self-sabotage often comes from fear, insecure attachment, past heartbreak, and nervous system conditioning rooted in John Bowlby’s attachment theory. These patterns are learned — which means they can be unlearned.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
✔️ What self-sabotage really looks like in relationships
✔️ Why fear shows up as distance, control, or conflict
✔️ Common triggers that cause emotional shutdown or pushing people away
✔️ How low self-worth quietly ruins connection
✔️ Practical steps to stop self-sabotaging and build healthier bonds
If you’ve ever picked fights for no reason, pulled away when things got real, or questioned why you ruin good things — this episode is for you.
Here on Mind + Motive, we explore psychology, relationships, and human behavior to help you understand yourself better and create stronger emotional connections.
🎧 Listen, reflect, and start choosing awareness over autopilot.
