Have you ever found yourself on the brink of growth, only to revert to old, destructive habits? If so, you're not alone. In the latest episode of the Secret Life podcast, Brianne Davis-Gantt dives deep into the topic of self-sabotage, exploring how our fear of the unknown often keeps us stuck in familiar, yet harmful, patterns. She shares her personal journey of overcoming sex and love addiction, emphasizing that real growth comes from pushing through discomfort and doing the hard work, even when it feels unbearable.
Brianne also discusses the concept of internal family systems, explaining how different parts of our psyche, like the “firefighters” determined to disrupt our lives, can lead us down paths of self-destruction. She highlights the importance of small, consistent actions—whether it's journaling, making a gratitude list, or attending therapy—as key steps in overcoming self-sabotage. This episode is a powerful reminder that while the journey of self-improvement is challenging, the rewards are immeasurable. Don't let self-sabotage rob you of the life you deserve.
