- Number five, you think about your feelings instead of feeling them. Your therapist asks “how do you feel?” and you explain why you feel that way instead. Analysis becomes your escape. - Number six, you procrastinate on things that matter to you. That course you paid for 8 months ago? Untouched. That book you wanted to write? Still a Google Doc with just the title. - Number seven, you say yes when you mean no. Your friend asks for a ride to the airport at 5 AM. You say “sure!” Then curse under your breath the entire drive. - Number eight, you abandon yourself the moment things get hard. You start the diet, break it by Thursday, then say “I’ll start again next month.” Every single time. Self-sabotage isn’t laziness. It’s self-protection that costs you everything. Comment “STOP” if you’re ready to break this pattern. #therapy #anxiety #trauma #pyschologyinsights #counselling
