E301: The Self-Worth Ceiling: How Low Self-Esteem Fuels Self-Sabotage

Sober Powered: The Neuroscience of Being Sober

If you think you’re a loser and a failure, then you’re going to behave in ways that confirm these beliefs. We all have beliefs about our inherent worth and what we deserve, and when life starts getting too good, we’ll self-sabotage to bring ourselves back down. In this episode, I’ll explain the self-worth ceiling and where this comes from so you can get some insight on your own motivations behind your behavior.
