Stop Self-Sabotage and Get Out of Your Own Way
A practical, psychology-based guide to understanding the patterns that quietly limit success — and how to change them.
You're Capable. You're Smart. So Why Does
Progress Stall?
Many high-achieving women reach a point where effort no longer equals results.
You know what to do — but hesitate. Momentum builds — then fades. Confidence wavers just when things start to work.
This isn't laziness.
It isn't a lack of discipline.
And it isn't because something is "wrong" with you.
It's self-sabotage — and most people don't even realize it's happening.
What You'll Learn
What Stop Self Sabotage Will Help You Understand
Why you pull back just as success appears
How unconscious patterns override logic and intention
Where hesitation, overthinking, and self-doubt actually come from
How to replace internal resistance with aligned, consistent action
This Book Is For You If…
You've outgrown old patterns but feel stuck repeating them
You second-guess decisions you already know are right
You work hard but feel capped below your potential
You want clarity — not motivation hype
A Therapist's Perspective — Not a Pep Talk
Pat Pearson approaches self-sabotage through decades of clinical insight and real-world
experience. Instead of pushing harder, this book teaches you how to stop unconsciously pulling
yourself back.
Awareness creates choice.
Choice creates change.
