Ever felt like you're your own worst enemy? In this episode of Levelheaded Talk, Dr. Andrea Vitz unpacks the concept of self sabotage, revealing it might not be what you think. You know those moments when you feel like you're sabotaging your own progress? Dr. Vitz explains that these behaviours are more about your 'intoxicated identity' than any deliberate self-sabotage. It's all about understanding how your belief systems and past traumas shape your actions.

She dives into how our old self-beliefs—like feeling invisible or unlovable—can trick us into reinforcing negative patterns. Imagine having a filter through which you see the world, one that confirms your fears and keeps you stuck in old habits. Dr. Vitz challenges listeners to examine the motives behind their actions and discern whether they're coming from their true selves or this intoxicated identity.

With humour and empathy, she encourages a shift in perspective, suggesting that what feels like sabotage is just a tug-of-war between old beliefs and new intentions. So, if you're ready to confront these patterns and start steering your life in a new direction, this episode is a must-listen. By recognising these behaviours, you can begin to take control and align with your authentic self.
