Self-Sabotage | Beth Clayton | TEDxBroadway

There’s a secret saboteur inside each of us, holding us back with insecurities as we reach for our goals. Health coach Beth Clayton shares her own moving story of self-sabotage and how she’s learned to keep it in check by building a better relationship with her saboteur.
Beth Clayton is a soul-centered health coach. She has helped hundreds of people to ditch the shame, dieting and deprivation and step into a respectful and loving relationship with their bodies and themselves.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

I have seen many Ted talks over the years and this is probably the most honest, vulnerable, and the bravest of all!

[@melissarose6901]

I got a lot out of this - thank you! Self-sabotage has been a huge issue for me. And the technique she recommends goes hand-in-hand with the other self help-style stuff I've been reading & watching lately: be kind to yourself.

[@abrahammamo245]

I don't know how to describe how brilliant this is

[@saadsahnoun6878]

Radical self empathy needs a pause ,that's when you're left alone with your saboteur ,allowing him to speak and make peace with him .
Thanks to every psychiatrist, coach ,mentor... who make information and knowledge available (books..) so that we all can raise awareness on such challenges and move on

Thank you for this presentation. It opened my eyes to my own self-sabotage, and has created a revelation in my awareness of my cognitive behavior. I've been struggling with depression and extremely low self-esteem for years now. At this point in my life, this video was very much needed. Thanks again.

[@gregoryoxidine1355]

THANK YOU BETH!... My sisters and I watched our father brutalize our mom as children, and I have held this in for 60 years, until tonight! My saboteur; little Gregory destroyed one of my biggest trades tonight, and I finally realized that it was ME. I really Love you for this Beth...Thank YOU!

[@lenebel]

This one is amazing!

[@tonyhulme2388]

Good sound advice thank you!

[@hansy1305]

This helps, thank you

[@hernans901]

Really liked this one.

[@leeclark9422]

That was pretty damn awesome Beth Clayton. I am sometimes hard on my boy, and hate to see those 'tiny deaths'. I think asking 'What do you want from me' is such a powerful question. At the same time, often the answer from a nine year old is 'ice-cream', so getting a child to articulate comes with its own challenges. I guess often we don't know until after the event.
I wrote a song about the challenges of 'having' to grow up:

Again, though thank you so much for how you articulated this very important subject.
