Why the term ‘self-sabotage’ is half-baked

In today’s video, with Jay Reid, LPCC, we will discuss the logic of ‘self-sabotage’ for the person who is put into a position whether this strategy is required. I hope to show that for children with psychologically compromised parents, their own success in the world can constitute threats to their relationship with those parents. Finally, I’ll argue why self-sabotage is not just about oneself but is a valiant attempt to contort oneself into a state that will be more acceptable to a compromised parent. I think it is very important to tune into the interpersonal benefit of self-sabotage so that you and the client can develop compassion for their motive to adopt this strategy and recognize the dire circumstances they faced in having to adopt it.
