Why do we sabotage the very things we say we want?
In this episode, Piers Cross explores self-sabotage through the lens of boarding school survival patterns, trauma, leadership and nervous system regulation.
Drawing on Gay Hendricks’ concept of the “Upper Limit Problem,” Piers explains how many ex-boarders unconsciously return themselves to familiar emotional states whenever success, intimacy, joy or uncertainty begin to increase.
Topics include:
- Boarding school conditioning and emotional suppression
- Fight, flight, freeze and dissociation
- Why success can feel unsafe
- Relationship sabotage
- Leadership and emotional regulation
- The nervous system and uncertainty
- EFT, Havening and mindfulness
- Expanding the window of tolerance
- Compassionate leadership and healing trauma
Piers also shares details about the upcoming free workshop:
Why Smart Leaders Still Self-Sabotage
A reflective and experiential leadership workshop exploring unconscious patterns shaping relationships, work and performance.
