Willpower Failed? You're Looking at This Wrong
from The Liz Show: Executive Psychology & Performance Under Pressure
Send us Fan MailLiz explains that repeating behaviors you don’t want to do (like overthinking, procrastinating, people-pleasing, or numbing with food, phone, alcohol, or weed) usually aren’t a discipline problem but a pattern run by unseen “parts.” She defines patterns as learned coping strategies and parts as versions of you with a feeling, belief, and coping method, often including a hurt younger part and a well-meaning protector part. Liz outlines 15 high-level steps to track triggers, identify the protector behavior, separate from it (“a part of me”), focus on emotions and body sensations, gently trace feelings back to earlier memories, work through blanks and resistance, identify what the younger part learned, reconnect with compassion, bring it to the present, ground if overwhelmed, and practice in real time so intensity drops and behaviors weaken over time.Healing Trauma the Jesus Way https://elizabethlouis.io/products/healing-traumaSupport the showPlease leave me a review on Apple Podcast! ***LET'S CONNECT:***Checkout My Courses: Sign up for my Newsletter Website:Facebook:Tik-Tok - Instagram: Youtube: LinkedIn personal profile:
