About a year ago, my special topic lecture of the month was all on the origins of self-sabotage and it was a massive hit. It offered many aha moments for a lot of people!! So my team and I have edited that livestream lecture down to just under one hour. We've removed the stops, starts, and scrolls -- all the things that tend to happen on a livestream. Of course, if you like that stuff, you can find the raw and unedited version here: https://youtu.be/i3DK1F0KCTw For more on self-sabotage, I did another vlog earlier this year titled, The origin story of procrastination, self-sabotage, & fleeing from health, and you can watch that one here: https://youtu.be/XL5knKEg0bI __ Here are some Questions/Topics I discuss in this chat: 1:04 - Introduction to self-sabotage 1:43 - Ways of self-sabotage? 3:29 - Ventral vagal aspect (connecting) 5:32 - Staying in abusive/toxic relationships and environments 7:50 - Wearing an invisible mask that keeps us from who we really are 10:46 - Human system healing itself 11:32 - Believing that we deserve to heal 12:04 - Nature healing Itself 17:01 - How survival stress begins 21:08 - Wired for disappointment 24:14 - Wired for self-shaming 24:50 - Healthy Shaming 26:01- Toxic Shaming 28:39 - Wired for shutdown 32:53 - Needing a reward/praise 36:00 - Effects of school 39:10 - Perfectionism 39:28- Pre-verbal & life force energy 43:25 - Healthy aggression is essential 48:09 - What’s the next step? 54:18 - Compassion for others and ourselves going through dysregulation Resources I mention in this Vlog: ► Drop In Class https://irenelyon.com/drop-in-class-1 ► Edgar Cayce https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Cayce ► George Ivanovich Gurdjieff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Gurdjieff ► Up & Down Movement Workshop https://www.updownworkshop.com/ ► The Polyvagal Theory.
