Why do we sabotage our dreams? What is it that makes us drop the ball right when we’re about to win the game? Maybe our thoughts get in the way. Maybe it’s just another chapter in a negative story we’ve been telling ourselves over and over or limiting ideas about who we think we are and what we think we deserve. It could be the result of a trauma somewhere in life that causes us to believe things about ourselves that just aren’t true.

Nathan Segal has been on a spiritual journey since age 11, and later, experienced an awakening and profound shift in his life to help him deal with PTSD and break free of self-sabotage and dissociative amnesia brought on by an early experience that shocked him into a life of sabotage that took him years to recover from.

Now, he helps others learn to live a more productive, fulfilling life free of self-sabotage. Nathan Segal’s story is one of challenge and change, and it may inspire you to reach your goals instead of giving up on them.

“[At age 11] a question popped into my mind…where does time end?”

“I realized, ‘I am sick of this!’ … I need to change the way that I’m acting when I get a shock or a trauma.”

“Instead of having that instant reaction, I would get up and leave the room…I’d feel the pain of it in my body and my mind, but I would sit and hold the energy of it.”

“I gave myself permission to feel it without having a reaction.”

“I created a separation between the shock and the response.”

“Just be there and sit with the pain without doing anything special at all.”

“If you didn’t have the story you wouldn’t have the problem.”

“The very first step is awareness.”

“Start to be a detective in your own life.”
