Freedom From Self-Sabotage: How to Stop Being Our Own Worst Enemy

Self-sabotage has been called the enemy within, the shadow, and the inner saboteur. It has been referred to in clinical manuals as Self-Defeating Personality Disorder. It comes in many guises, stalking us in the forms of self-doubt, low self-esteem, worry, anxiety, fear, depression, guilt, and addictive behaviors. At its worst, it constitutes not just self-defeat but self-destruction and self-hatred. It refers to a mysterious configuration in our psyche that hides inside us and toils against our best interests. If we don't succeed in identifying and eliminating this sinister part, we can never be truly free. This book reveals the unconscious dynamics in our psyche that limit our potential. Readers are privy to the "Big Secret" about human nature, which is our unconscious readiness to recycle and replay unresolved, negative emotions from our past. You will learn why this knowledge has not been assimilated by the public, and why even mental-health professionals are not conversant with it. The book includes scores of insights, solutions, and exercises to move the learning process quickly forward.
