Self-sabotage doesn’t always look like failure—it often hides in perfectionism, people-pleasing, and emotional burnout. In this episode, Dr. Judy Ho—clinical and forensic neuropsychologist, TEDx speaker, and author of Stop Self-Sabotage and The New Rules of Attachment—joins Dr. Patrice to unpack the psychology behind why we get in our own way. Together, they explore how societal overwhelm disrupts our ability to connect, how emotional regulation and co-regulation shape our relationships, and how Dr. Judy’s Core 3 framework helps us build secure, supportive connections. From breaking cycles of shame to reparenting our inner child, this conversation offers practical tools for healing, growth, and rewiring the way we relate to ourselves and others.
