đ± We All Have Patterns
Every one of us runs on patterns â ways of thinking, reacting, and coping that once served a purpose. Each pattern has an upside and a downside.
When you run into someone who feels âdifficult,â it can help to remember: most of the time, theyâre not trying to frustrate you on purpose. Theyâre simply trying (not always logically, but emotionally) to get their needs met.
đ That doesnât mean you put up with abuse â ever. Boundaries are non-negotiable.
But understanding the âwhyâ behind someoneâs behavior can help you get clear on your choices: whatâs healthy for you, whatâs healthy for the world.
Sometimes, if youâre steady in who you are, you can even help good people shift out of old patterns â but only if you can stay grounded, not pulled into the storm.
đĄ And hereâs the real power: when you become aware of your own patterns, therapy can help you rewire both consciously and unconsciously, shifting your brain into new, more valuable ways of responding.
At the end of the day, itâs not about fixing others â itâs about clarity, compassion, and protecting your own center.
âš âMost âdifficult peopleâ arenât villains â theyâre just running old survival patterns that no longer fit.â
