When client self-sabotage shows up, coaching can suddenly feel much harder.
You might recognize this moment:
You know your client is capable.
They want the result.
And yet… something keeps getting in the way.
When self-sabotage appears, it can stall progress, drain energy, and quietly chip away at a coach’s confidence — even for highly skilled practitioners.
Self-sabotage can look like:
Procrastinating on what matters most (career, relationships, health, visibility)
Repeatedly flaking on aligned actions
Getting stuck in rumination, worry, or catastrophic thinking
Playing it safe, hiding, or holding back from being seen
Overworking when what’s truly needed is rest or integration
”Forgetting” to prepare for important meetings or presentations
These aren’t random behaviors — they’re patterns
And without the right framework, they can be surprisingly hard to interrupt.
When clients get stuck on the Wheel of Self-Sabotage, projects stall, momentum fades, and frustration builds — for them and for you.
Over time, clients may lose faith in their progress or feel less excited about the work, even when the coaching relationship is strong.
The good news?
There is a clear, compassionate, and highly effective way to work with this.
Help Clients Off the Wheel of Self Sabotage
How masterful coaches interrupt stuck patterns and create lasting change
Live Masterclass with Joanna Lindenbaum

When you know how to support clients off the Wheel of Self-Sabotage, everything shifts — sessions flow more easily, breakthroughs deepen, and your confidence as a coach grows.
“My clients now regularly rave about their sessions and send me emails afterwards saying how helpful they were. The program is a must on the path to become excellent and masterful as a coach.”
“Joanna knows what it takes to create powerful shifts in others. ”
“I would not have been able to create such a powerful experience for my clients without Joanna’s support.”
If you have ever felt unsure about what to do when your clients are stuck, this masterclass is for you
Most coaches were never taught how to work with self-sabotage at a structural level — how to recognize what’s actually happening, where to intervene, and how to do so without pushing, rescuing, or triggering shame.
In this masterclass, you’ll learn how to work with self-sabotage clearly, ethically, and powerfully.
Here’s part of what you’ll learn in our 90 minutes together:
The TWO distinct types of client self-sabotage – how to recognize which one a client is in and how to appropriately work with it at the deep levels it requires.
How to powerfully interrupt and transform the Cycle of Self-Sabotage so the client doesn’t fall back into their old patterns and blame your coaching for the relapse.
How the wheel of self-sabotage traps clients and practically guarantees a negative outcome.
The Core self-sabotage patterns that must be broken to help a client end their cycle of self-sabotage… and how to help them face the inevitable discomfort that will arise.
The debilitating role shame plays in hiding self-sabotage and keeping it in place. And how to navigate a client’s shame properly, so you don’t accidentally trigger greater shame and self-sabotage.
How to transform your own self-sabotage so that you don’t get stuck procrastinating or taking misaligned actions when it comes to your business, your visibility, your projects and so much more.
What to do to manage your Energy when you are coaching clients who are self-sabotaging: how to approach each client with care & confidence no matter how pesky the situation.
“I am coaching much more masterfully. I also feel so much more confident reflecting the truth & calling out resistances and fears. This results in more powerful results & being able to go much deeper with clients in a shorter amount of time.”
“Joanna will set you up for THE best marketing you could ever have in your business – scores of happy clients you’ve helped in ways greater than you could have ever hoped for or imagined.”
“From June to July my clientele has doubled! My clients are having big breakthroughs in sessions and turning those into transformations by taking bold actions between sessions. I finally have the confidence that I’ve wanted for so long, not only in my work but my personal life too. I literally feel like a new woman! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the work you do, for modeling what true transformational coaching looks like and bringing loving compassion to the growing pains of becoming a masterful coach.”
90-minutes of psychology & technique that you can’t learn anywhere else.
Clear. Grounded. Immediately usable.
It will completely change how you approach client obstacles (& your own!)
