Re: self sabotage
Hi Alison - Im sure this must be a confidence issue but I can see why self esteem is not enough - the roots of her problem stem from her childhood. Perhaps she felt that her parents didnt care about her? Have you considered using Inner Child Therapy where she can go back to her child self (as the adult she now is) and either subconsciously correct the situation or understand with her adult mind why her parents didnt give her praise and encouragement? It might be helpful to learn more about how her parents were brought up - if they didnt receive praise when they were children then perhaps they didnt consider giving it to their own children? If Im right then this is a cycle that can be broken - you could use future progression and have her imagine herself encouraging her own children because shes learned from her parents mistakes. This could also help in increasing her confidence (depending on how old she is). I figure I could write more on this topic so if you want to respond with any more information or questions then please do.
