🎯Patterns in Your Life: Where They Come From
Understanding Where Patterns Come From
The way we relate to others, ourselves, and the world is shaped early in life.
Our parents and caregivers are often the first people who teach us:
- how others treat us
- what we believe about ourselves
- what we expect from relationships
- what is “safe” or “not safe”
As children, we are highly impressionable. We absorb both healthy and unhealthy patterns from the environments we grow up in.
Some of these patterns come from:
- what we observed
- what we experienced
- and what was reinforced over time
When a behavior “works” (it gets a need met, avoids conflict, or is reinforced), we are more likely to repeat it—even if it is not healthy in the long term.
Over time, these patterns become automatic.
Reflection:
- What messages did you learn about yourself growing up?
- What did you learn about how others should treat you?
- What behaviors were modeled in your home?
- What behaviors were reinforced or rewarded?
