48 | Do You Feel Stuck In Patterns You Can’t Break?

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “Why do I keep doing this?” Maybe you keep falling into the same relationship patterns. Maybe you struggle with anger, people-pleasing, shutting down, negative self-talk, fear of rejection, or difficulty trusting others. You know you want to change. You've prayed about it. Maybe you've been to therapy, read the books, listened to podcasts, and tried to use willpower to break the cycle. And yet…you still find yourself repeating the same patterns. What if you're not broken? In this episode, we're talking about why childhood trauma can create patterns that follow us into adulthood—and why recognizing those patterns is not a reason to shame yourself. It's an opportunity to begin healing. I'll share part of my own story and what I've learned about recognizing the difference between who I am and what I learned to do to survive. You'll discover: Why some unhealthy patterns may have started as survival responses Why recognizing a pattern doesn't mean you're failing How trauma can influence the way we think, respond, and relate to others Why healing requires more than willpower How renewing your mind can help create new patterns Why healing happens in stages rather than all at once How to begin responding differently when an old pattern shows up Why your past does not have to determine your future How God can lead you toward greater peace, joy, freedom, confidence, and energy   Scripture Romans 12:2 — “Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”   >> Join my Insider List!   https://bit.ly/3Qza5HE >> Schedule a Rooted & Risen Coaching Session. >> Grab a set of “My Identity In Christ” reflection cards.  ✨ Identity in Christ Reflection Cards TEAL-  https://lesliechermak.myflodesk.com/teal MAUVE:  https://lesliechermak.myflodesk.com/mauve >> Visit Website: https://lesliechermak.com/
