Why We Stay Stuck: Understanding the Nine Patterns Beneath Our Behaviour
WHY WE STAY STUCK Understanding the patterns beneath our behaviour You may know what you want to change, yet still find yourself repeating the same habits, reactions or relationship patterns. In this interactive three-hour online workshop, we will move beyond the surface to explore why insight alone does not always lead to change. You will discover nine underlying patterns that can keep us stuck, including: • trying to get everything right• putting everyone else’s needs first• measuring your worth through achievement• focusing on what is missing• overthinking and withdrawing• worrying about what could go wrong• avoiding discomfort through distraction• feeling the need to stay strong and in control• keeping the peace while neglecting your own priorities These patterns are not flaws. They are protective strategies that may once have helped us feel safe, valued, connected or in control. But when they become automatic, they can limit our choices and keep us repeating what no longer serves us. During the workshop, you will: • recognise the patterns influencing where you feel stuck• explore what may sit beneath your behaviour• understand what your pattern is trying to protect• begin questioning the beliefs keeping it in place• identify one realistic step towards a more intentional response This workshop draws on psychology, behaviour-change principles and the Enneagram, a powerful framework for understanding the patterns beneath our behaviour. You do not need any previous knowledge of the Enneagram.
