Why Do I Keep Repeating The Same Patterns?
Many people come to therapy frustrated by themselves.
They say:
"I know what I'm doing, but I keep doing it."
They repeat the same relationship patterns.
The same reactions.
The same ways of coping.
They may promise themselves things will be different next time.
Yet the familiar pattern returns.
This is because our responses are often shaped by what we have learned over time.
Our minds and bodies develop ways of protecting us.
Avoiding.
Pleasing.
Controlling.
Withdrawing.
Overthinking.
These strategies often made sense at some point.
The problem is that they may no longer fit the life you are trying to create.
Therapy provides a space to understand these patterns without judgement.
The aim is not to blame your past.
It is to understand yourself well enough to create different choices in the present.
