Episode Synopsis

Send some fan mailWhat if your patterns — even the ones that trip you up — are actually trying to protect you?Let's dive into personality patterns -- what they are, why they are essential to understand about ourselves and how to learn how to manage them. I share the single most profound developmental experience I've been through, the Hoffman Process (link below) where I came to terms with my patterns and learned how to manage them. We'll dive into how to identify yours and tools to learn how to recognize when and where they are showing up. Always remember -- you are NOT your patterns; they are a part of you...but not all of you. Episode topics: What are patterns - essentially automatic ways of being/acting/believing/feelingHow patterns come to be from early on as a child - what it looks like to adopt, rebel or react patternsYou are NOT your patterns - they are a part of you but not all of youPatterns were created as a protective measure - as a means to feel safe, loved, etc. Why it's so helpful to understand what yours is and how it's trying to protect you Example of 9 motivations and fears of the Enneagram - where your patterns liveMy experience in the Hoffman Process - where you learn how to face your patterns and learn how to manage them Specific questions and prompts to recognize your own patterns and how to manage them Coaching Prompts: What’s one pattern you keep running that feels familiar and automatic?When did this pattern first show up? What could it be protecting you from?What would it feel like to thank that pattern for the role it’s played to date and  then try a different response and see how that feels. Resources | Links: Website | The Hoffman ProcessThe Hoffman Quadrinity™ (scroll to bottom of this page to see the symbol/description of my tattoo)Website | The Enneagram 9 TypesGET YOUR ENNEAGRAM TYPEInstagram | The Work of YouInstagram | Grow CollectiveWebsite | The Work of YouWebsite | Grow Collective
