The Upper Limit Problem: Why You Self-Sabotage When Things Get Too Good With Coach Matt
About this episode
Everything else in your life is leveling up, so why do you keep returning to the bottle? The answer lies in the upper limit problem, a subconscious belief that you don't deserve or can't sustain success.
Coach Matt breaks down the biopsychosocial factors that drive self-sabotage, from the quick reward hits of dopamine to core fears of success or failure.
Learn why overcoming cognitive distortions, replacing the inner critic with self-compassion, and committing to small, realistic goals are the only way to align your behavior with your conscious desire for freedom.
