Change can be really tough. Chances are, you’re probably repeating similar patterns over and over. We all do this. It can really help us at times—if something goes well, let’s keep doing it, right? But then what do we do when it doesn’t go well or when it's no longer working for us? What do we do when it seems like each time we’re doing the same thing and getting the same response, and it’s not what we want? These patterns can go on for so long and when we finally want to do something about it—well, it can be super daunting to untangle what feels like a giant, complex, layered knot.
