The Ways You Learned To Survive Can Sometimes Become The Things That Hold You Back
Find the Protective Patterns That May Still Be Running in the Background
If you have spent years carrying responsibility, navigating stress, caring for others, or pushing through difficult circumstances, your brain has likely developed ways to protect you.
You push yourself harder than you would ever push someone you love.
You feel responsible for making sure everything turns out okay.
You struggle to rest because there is always one more thing to do.
You worry about disappointing people.
You find yourself anticipating problems before they happen.
You overthink decisions long after they should be finished.
You know you need support but have difficulty asking for it.
You often put your own needs at the bottom of the list.
You feel exhausted from carrying so much for so long.
These patterns are not signs that something is wrong with you.
They are often intelligent adaptations that helped you navigate challenging experiences and move through life as safely as possible.
The challenge is, that what once protected you can continue operating long after it is needed. While they used to bring predictable results, they now bring disorder, discomfort and disconnection from others and most importantly from yourself.
What once helped you survive, can begin creating anxiety, overwhelm, perfectionism, self-doubt, burnout, resentment, and a constant feeling of being buried in overwhelm.
In Positive Intelligence®, these protective patterns are called Saboteurs.
The Saboteur Assessment offers an opportunity to identify which patterns may be influencing your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and daily life.
The goal is not to get rid of the parts of you that learned to survive. The goal is to understand them, appreciate what they were trying to do, and create more choice moving forward.
Awareness creates choice.
The first step toward change is understanding the patterns that have been quietly running in the background.
Many women spend years wondering why we keep repeating the same struggles, carrying the same burdens, or feeling as though we can never quite relax.
This complimentary assessment can help shine a light on the protective patterns that may be operating beneath the surface.
You'll discover:
• Which survival strategies are most active in your life
• How they influence your thoughts, emotions, and choices
• The impact they may be having on your relationships, wellbeing, and quality of life
• Where old protective patterns may no longer be serving you
• The first steps toward creating more peace, clarity, resilience, and freedom
