Origin of the Saboteurs
Learn what Saboteurs are, where they come from, and how they influence your thoughts and actions.
What are the Saboteurs?
Saboteurs start off as our guardians to help us survive the real and imagined threats to our physical and emotional survival as children. They influence how you think, feel and respond.
Where do they come from?
Saboteurs develop in early childhood as protective responses. While they started out as survival mechanisms, they continue to affect us. By the time we are adults, we no longer need the Saboteurs, but they have become invisible inhabitants of our minds.
How do they affect you?
Our Saboteurs’ patterns of thinking, feeling, and reacting become soft-coded in our brain through neural pathways. When these neural pathways are triggered, we are “hijacked” by our Saboteurs and feel, think, and act using their patterns. Saboteurs shape how we respond.
What should you do next?
Understanding your Saboteurs is the first step toward weakening their influence and strengthening your Sage.
