62. Self-awareness alone won't fix your self-sabotage. Here's what's actually happening in your nervous system, and the truth about creating real change (after 2 decades of trying)

from Paths Back to You · host Dia Jin

If you've ever understood exactly why you do something, and then did it anyway (again), then this episode is for you.I spent nearly 2 decades doing genuine, deep, inner work. Therapy, somatic practices, learning, even helping clients. I could name every wound, explain every pattern, and still spent years trying to 'get out of my own way'. Feeling at odds with different parts of myself.So, let's dive deep about the paradox of being a deeply self-aware person who still self-sabotages. Why awareness alone isn't the mechanism of change. What's actually happening in your nervous system while you're busy being frustrated that nothing is changing. And what I finally learned was 'the thing' that moves the needle.🔑 https://diajin.com (FREE resources & paid offers)✍🏼Substack: https://diajin.substack.com/subscribeSocials:🐝 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/diajin🐝 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@diajin🐝 YouTube:https://youtube.com/@diajin
