You can know your pattern inside out and still find yourself living it. Part of the reason is that the pattern doesn't only live in your thoughts. It lives in your body.
In sessions I often see it before anyone says a word. A tight jaw. Shoulders near the ears. Breath high and quick. Eyes that keep checking the room. A body that can't sit still, and words that rush out without landing.
That's a nervous system that has spent a long time outside its window of tolerance, the range where you can feel things fully and still think clearly. Regulation means you can be pushed out of that window and find your way back with ease. When a body has been braced for years, that way back has to be rebuilt.
That's why my work starts with nervous system repair and then moves to the mind. When the body feels safe enough to soften, the beliefs that keep the pattern running become much easier to change.
Where do you feel it most?
