Stuck in the Same Pattern?

You tell yourself this time will be different.
Different partner.
Different job.
Different tone.
And yet somehow the feeling is familiar.
You over-explain.
You shut down.
You try to fix it.
You wait for reassurance that doesn’t quite come.
Afterwards you think:“Why did I react like that again?”
It rarely feels dramatic.
It’s subtle.
A shift in someone’s voice.
A delayed message.
A piece of feedback at work.
And suddenly you’re not fully in the present anymore.
You’re responding to something older.
Most people think they need more discipline.
Or better communication skills.
Or to be “less sensitive.”
But often it’s not about strength.
It’s about patterns.
Patterns that once made sense.
Patterns that protected you.
Patterns that now run quietly in the background.
When you start to see the structure of the loop - trigger → interpretation → emotion → reaction → consequence - something changes.
Not because you force yourself to behave differently.
But because you understand what’s happening while it’s happening.
That’s where real choice begins.
And that’s the work I do with people.
We don’t analyse your entire childhood.
We don’t label you.
We map one real situation.
We slow it down.
We look at where the loop tightens.
And once you see it clearly,
you stop feeling trapped inside it.
