Old Pain, Patterns That Outlived Their Purpose
Movement I · The Body That Knows
A Mirror
Read each question slowly. Sit with it before writing. These are not questions to answer quickly.
Question 1
Name the strategy. Not in psychological language but in behavioral terms. What do you do, specifically, when you feel unentitled to the room you are in? Name the behavior as precisely as you can.
Question 2
When was this strategy installed? Not the year necessarily, but the season of life. What was the specific threat it was protecting against, as best as you can name it?
Question 3
What does it cost you today, in specific relationships or specific situations, that this strategy is still running automatically?
Question 4
If this pattern retired, what would the room you walk into look like? Not the ideal room, not the fantasy, just the room where the old scan was no longer required.
