Quotes:
“Here's what's important to understand: self-sabotage and coping strategies are not sabotage; they are our nervous system and our protective parts trying to keep us safe.” — Sarah Baldwin [0:07:15]
“The purpose of a coping strategy is to numb us or disconnect us from whatever it is that we are experiencing in our body that does not feel good.” — Sarah Baldwin [0:07:28]
“Self-sabotage is not meant to destroy your life. Self-sabotage is actually self-protection.” — Sarah Baldwin [0:18:45]
“We have to actually build a relationship with these parts of us. Instead of just trying to get out of that prison that we're in and step towards the life we want, we have to turn towards the young people who are inside of that prison with us. Those are your younger parts.” — Sarah Baldwin [0:29:08]
“When it comes to coping strategies or self-sabotage, I want you to remember every person on the planet is using these to some degree. You're not alone.” — Sarah Baldwin [0:31:26]
