Understanding and restructuring your life (when it’s become unmanageable)

Most of us can relate to feeling stuck in old patterns of behaviour. We all have some experience with just how bad this can get. We think of that often recycled definition of insanity, “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.” We know we need to change, yet we remain stuck in these patterns all the same. Why? 
 
What if we told you that these stuck ways of being in the world are protective?  That they were the best you were able to muster at a young age, when you were faced with overwhelming circumstances and likely a lack of support. That back in this difficult time from your youth or childhood, you made visceral conclusions about what the world was, what people were like, and who you were going to need to be in response to it all. 

You are not insane. You are stuck.

You are not insane. You are stuck in very old ways of protecting yourself. Your protection has become a prison, and that prison is becoming unmanageable. 
 
Together we will work to understand this old and hidden story, the deep logic behind how your reality became structured the way it did. And as together, we bring our present wisdom to bear on that old story, you will find your life will enter a natural process of restructuring. You will find yourself beginning to live out the changes that had seemed out of reach.
