In this episode, Dr. Jockers is joined by Dr. Audrey Schnell to explore the underlying causes of self-sabotage and how to break the cycle. Discover how outdated internal models, hidden blind spots, and a fear of change prevent us from following through on our goals. Dr. Schnell shares valuable insights on rewiring the brain to overcome these patterns. You'll learn how small, consistent habits can create a momentum cycle, making it easier to stick to positive changes. Dr. Schnell emphasizes the importance of sleep in maintaining motivation and focus, and how a well-rested brain can help disrupt self-sabotaging behaviors. Dr. Schnell also explains the psychological effects of childhood trauma and how they shape our current behaviors. Understanding these deeper patterns allows us to address the root causes of self-sabotage and build lasting, positive changes.
