Whilst certainly succeeding at keeping my body safe (hadn't at any major wound or operation since i had my amandels (something in your throat, i don't know the translation, but it kept me from breathing well) pulled out) but it isn't working to well for my emotional state, because it's trying to safeguard me into everyone trying to like me and i have enough common-sense to know that that is never possible. And it's suppressing myself to achieve that goal. oh well, at least that's my theory about sabotage. Hmm... And if i were i hero i think i'd just try living my normal life and try and help my friends with my superhero powers or help people when natural disasters happen.

So what does Sabotage get from doing what he does? Where's the pay-off for him? Forgetting about Sabotage and the Pleaser for a moment, what would Lorenzo do if he were a hero? PS: Most of my clients are women, the same obviously goes for us men ;) Sounds like a big old conflict going on there between Sabotage and the Pleaser.

I want to do so much things but i always stop myself again to do it. It makes me feel bad about myself because the only one holding me back is me and i don't know how to break that barrier of Sabotage. I tend to stop myself from helping people sometimes and i don't know even know why :/ which is frustrating because two feelings are conflicting and it's straining on my emotional well-being. Sometimes i can feel so down because i talked myself out off helping a person whilst i wanted to help that person. Grtz Lorenzo Why is every superhero character addressed as her? ;)
