About this listen

 What’s holding you back?

Self-defeating behavior is the #1 reason that people seek psychotherapy. Whether it’s envy, compulsion, inaction, holding a grudge, or not moving on, so many of our biggest stumbling blocks are self-imposed, preventing us from achieving the happiness, love, and success we all want in our lives. The good news is: We can do better.

Get Out of Your Own Way explains why we sabotage ourselves and offers proven steps of action to transform behavior from self-defeating to life-enhancing. With anecdotes and usable insights drawn from decades of clinical practice, Dr. Mark Goulston shares ideas that have helped thousands of patients overcome pain, fear, and frustration to approach life’s challenges with dignity, courage, and even humor.

no one can love you if you do not love and trust yourself. you know your demons, so work at them. one step in front may be 3 paces back in another light; but only you can decide how far you've come. so read, listen, make note of the point and the quotes because they helped me understand that though I thought I was paving the way to a better life I was infact cementing it to hell with my toddler.
good luck everyone and note everyone takes something different out of most things. your perception would be much helpful to the next reader.
