You Are the Mountain — by Brianna Wiest

How to Turn Self-Sabotage into Self-Mastery

Self-sabotage occurs when we refuse to meet our deepest needs, often because we don’t believe we can handle them. — Brianna Wiest

Self-sabotage is a complex subject.

It involves the presence of an unconscious need being fulfilled by self-sabotaging behavior.

We overcome this by reinventing our self-image.

During this journey of reinvention, we also address identifying and healing trauma by releasing processed emotions.

The Central Message of the Book

The central message of “The Mountain Is You” is that each of us has the power to transform our lives through self-reflection and self-mastery. Wiest encourages us to confront our fears and internal limitations, understand them, and turn them into opportunities for personal growth and development.

Indeed, the first chapter begins with self-sabotage, and the great part is that it also addresses other related themes, such as:

• Self-love,
• Perfectionism,
• Criticism of others,
• Pride,
• Fear of failure,
• Guilt of success.
