Short conversational transcript from a YouTube video by Heather Aardema discussing Shirzad Chamine's 'saboteurs' framework. Speakers define saboteurs as long-practiced mental patterns formed in childhood that now interfere with showing up well. They recommend identifying your own and others' saboteurs during disagreements to depersonalize arguments, step back, and reach higher-ground resolution.

Another tool that I absolutely love is the work by Shirzaz Shamin.
And this tool.
Is all about knowing your saboteurs.
And saboteurs.
Are mental.
Patterns that.
You'Ve practiced for decades. These mental patterns helped you, when you were a child, get through whatever it was that you were trying to get through.
And today.
They actually are getting in.
The way of.
You showing up in your best light. And so Shirzad talks about the different saboteurs.
And the.
Way I use this tool.
Is I know my own saboteurs when.
I'm having an exchange with somebody else.
And let's say we're struggling to come.
To an agreement.
I get curious about.
What their saboteurs are as well. And so when I get curious about what their saboteurs.
Are, it makes the.
Argument much less personal. And I'm able to kind of step.
