Stop the Self Sabotage: You’re Not Broken, You’re Unfinished

Stop the Self Sabotage: You’re Not Broken, You’re Unfinished

Your breakdown isn't proof you're weak. It's proof you're finally strong enough to refuse participation in your own destruction. After an autoimmune disease stole his vision and ended his engineering career, Shay Edmonds had a choice: authenticity or destruction. What he discovered in that moment changed everything—not just for him, but for the hundreds of clients who've since used his frameworks to stop negotiating with their own collapse. We're not broken. We're buried under emotional weight we never agreed to carry. Stop with the Self Sabotage reveals the invisible load crushing high-performers, sensitive warriors, and anyone who's been taught that strength means suffering in silence. This isn't another self-help book promising easy fixes. It's emergency medicine for humans who've been asked to function like machines until they break. INSIDE, YOU'LL DISCOVER: - The emotional weight calculation that reveals what you're really carrying—and why traditional self-help keeps failing you - The B.R.E.A.K. Method: Five emergency protocols that work when you're too exhausted for meditation apps, too skeptical for affirmations, and too smart to believe one more person telling you to "just think positive" - Why the strong ones collapse hardest—and the protection patterns that keep you trapped in cycles of self-sabotage - The grocery store breakdown framework: How your nervous system stages revolts when you ignore its warnings (and what to do about it) - The truth chair exercise: Face the stories you've been too afraid to examine—the ones running your life from the shadows - How your healing becomes generational intervention—breaking cycles for everyone who comes after you THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU IF: You're publicly successful but privately falling apart You've achieved everything you thought would make you happy—and feel emptier than ever You're exhausted from performing normalcy while your nervous system screams for help You're done with toxic positivity, surface-level solutions, and advice from people who've never been where you are You're ready to stop managing symptoms and start breaking the cycles that created them THE B.R.E.A.K. METHOD isn't theory developed in comfortable offices. These are frameworks forged in actual crisis—tested first in the author's own collapse, then proven through hundreds of client transformations. They work because they were built for the moments when nothing else will. This is what happens when an engineer loses everything and rebuilds using the same problem-solving approach that once managed emergency infrastructure systems—except this time, the emergency is human. From the Sunday night panic attacks despite external success, to the moment you realize your "strength" is quietly killing you, to the radical choice to stop negotiating with your own destruction—this book meets you in the mess and gives you tools that actually work. Your healing isn't just personal growth. It's cultural rebellion disguised as self-help. It's generational intervention masquerading as a Tuesday afternoon breakthrough. Because the world doesn't need one more book about getting better. It needs a blueprint for what happens when you finally decide you're done getting worse. Perfect for readers who loved The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck , Can't Hurt Me , Untamed , and The Body Keeps the Score —but are ready for frameworks that don't require you to climb mountains, find your wild, or spend years in therapy before you can function. Stop negotiating with your own destruction. Your revolution starts now.
