See moreStop self-sabotaging and start creating lasting emotional healing with Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist Nadia Addesi's powerful guide to understanding—and breaking—destructive patterns.
You promised yourself this time would be different. But then . . .
. . . another argument with your parents escalates.
. . . another romantic relationship swallows up your sense of self.
. . . another good thing in your life gets sabotaged.
And you're left thinking, Not this again.
But here's the truth: It's not your fault. You don't need to feel ashamed or sorry. These patterns began as your nervous system's strategy to protect you. And now is the moment to make sure these mechanisms address your wants and needs, not just your fears.
Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist Nadia Addesi draws on her clinical expertise to offer science-backed tools and practical exercises to help you:
- Identify repeating patterns like self-sabotage and people-pleasing
- Regulate your nervous system so you can respond thoughtfully rather than on autopilot
- Feel your emotions without becoming overwhelmed or trapped in shame
- Rewire your brain to replace old survival strategies with healthier responses
Instead of asking, Why do I keep doing this?, declare, I am going to stop letting my past decide how I live now.
