Breaking the Cycle of Self-Abuse

As children, we often don’t understand why we become targets for bullying, abuse, or mistreatment. It’s a painful question that lingers: Why me? The reality is that those who harm others seek out vulnerability. They prey on children who already feel isolated, unsure, or powerless—those who won’t fight back, those who believe they deserve nothing more than the hand they’ve been dealt.

But what happens when the external abuse stops? Too often, we continue the cycle within ourselves.

We learn to identify as broken, unworthy, or powerless, and without realizing it, we perpetuate that belief by engaging in self-sabotage. We replay painful memories, shrink from opportunity, and even punish ourselves in ways that mirror the mistreatment we once endured. The brain craves familiarity, even when it’s harmful.

Understanding the Cycle of Self-Abuse

When you internalize negative beliefs about yourself, you unknowingly become both the abuser and the abused. This manifests in various ways:

  • Negative Self-Talk: Berating yourself for mistakes, calling yourself stupid, weak, or unlovable.

  • Self-Sabotage: Procrastinating on goals, staying in toxic relationships, or avoiding opportunities that could bring success.

  • Addictions and Harmful Coping Mechanisms: Engaging in destructive behaviors such as overeating, excessive drinking, or numbing emotions with distractions.

  • Perfectionism & People-Pleasing: Feeling like you must earn love and acceptance by overachieving or putting others' needs before your own.

The subconscious mind clings to the identity of “the wounded one” because it’s familiar, and familiarity equals safety—even when it’s painful. Breaking free requires a shift at the core level of belief and identity.

Breaking the Cycle with RTT, EFT, and Coaching

The good news? You are not broken. You never were. And you absolutely can transform your life by reprogramming the subconscious mind and reclaiming your power.

Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT): Healing at the Root

RTT is a powerful therapy designed to uncover and reframe deep-seated beliefs. Through hypnosis, RTT guides you back to the root cause of your negative programming—often childhood experiences that cemented the idea that you were unworthy or unlovable. By revisiting these moments with new understanding, you can release their hold on your life. RTT replaces old beliefs with empowering ones, allowing you to see yourself as capable, deserving, and strong.

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT): Releasing Emotional Trauma

EFT, also known as tapping, is a mind-body technique that helps release stuck emotions and trauma. By tapping on specific meridian points while voicing your feelings, EFT disrupts the body's stress response and rewires emotional patterns. It’s incredibly effective for releasing guilt, shame, and self-hatred—key emotions that fuel self-abuse.

Coaching: Moving Forward with Confidence

While RTT and EFT focus on healing and transformation, coaching provides the structure and accountability needed to move forward. A coach helps you redefine your identity, set empowering goals, and take aligned action. Instead of staying stuck in the past, coaching shifts your focus to who you are becoming and the life you are creating.

Choosing a New Identity

The most crucial step in breaking the cycle is choosing to see yourself differently. You are no longer the child who was hurt, the person who was left behind, or the one who was never enough. You are powerful. You are worthy. You are whole.

Through RTT, EFT, and coaching, you can:

  • Rewrite the subconscious stories that have kept you stuck

  • Release past pain and emotional burdens

  • Step into confidence, self-worth, and self-love

  • Take control of your future and create a life that excites you
