The 6 Self-Sabotage Identity Types
We all have patterns that hold us back. Most people don’t even realize they have one—until they see it for themselves.
I call these the Self-Sabotage Identity Types.Here are the five most common ones I see in my coaching practice:
-
Overthinker – Always analyzing, rarely acting.
-
Starter-Sprinter – Starts fast, burns out faster.
-
Wall-Builder – Plays it safe, avoids risk at all costs.
-
Mask-Wearer – Appears confident, hides the truth.
-
Repeater – Stuck in familiar patterns that never change.
-
Savior - Sacrifices self to please everyone else.
Why This Matters
When you don’t know your type, it controls you.
When you do know your type, you can start making intentional, strategic changes that break the cycle for good.
Knowing your type is the first step toward lasting change—because it’s impossible to fix what you can’t see.
