Transforming Dependency and Underfunctionning
PART 1: AWARENESS
Module 1
Introducing Your Journey
"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are." -- Carl G. Jung
Become an Observer of Your Own Patterns
Think of the beginning of this journey as becoming an observer of your own programs. In the first modules, we'll start by simply noticing - like watching a movie of yourself - when certain patterns appear in your life.
-
What situations tend to trigger them?
-
What happens in your body - maybe a tightness in your chest, a flutter in your stomach?
-
What thoughts race through your mind?
-
How do you behave when under stress?
-
How to recognize and name your emotions so you can benefit from their insightful messages.
-
How to stay grounded while witnessing your own experience.
Just by paying attention, without trying to change anything yet, you'll start seeing these moments more clearly. It's like turning on a light in a dim room - suddenly everything becomes more visible and manageable.
Understand the Deeper Layers
Once we’ve developed awareness, we’ll gently explore what’s beneath these patterns:
-
What are these behaviors trying to protect you from?
-
What important needs are they attempting to meet?
-
What fears are they trying to keep at bay?
Understanding these deeper layers isn't about judgment - it's about recognizing how these responses made sense at one point in your life and bringing compassion to yourself. As old fears begin to soften their grip, you'll find more freedom to make choices that align with who you want to be, rather than just reacting to protect yourself.
Expand Your Emotional Toolkit
At this stage, we shift from understanding old patterns to intentionally creating new ones that help you thrive, not just survive.
Your patterns are strategies you once needed, not reflections of your true self. Now, you're ready to expand into who you are becoming.
Thriving means expanding your emotional toolkit—developing the skills and practices that support your growth, relationships, and self-expression.
We'll explore:
-
How to express yourself with clarity & confidence.
-
How to set and maintain healthy boundaries that protect your energy.
-
Ask for what you need in a way that strengthens relationships.
-
How to integrate your hidden traits and become a fuller version of yourself
Create Your Meaningful Life
We'll end this journey by giving you tools to design the life that feels right for you.
We'll explore:
-
How to develop acceptance for our reality and compassion for our human experience.
-
How to empower yourself so you feel free and responsible of your search of happiness
-
Self care routines to support you through the ebbs and flows of life
-
How to engage with life in a way that really feels meaningful, through creativity, play and flow
The journey involves simple but powerful daily practices that gradually create new neural pathways. These exercises aren't about changing your core identity - they're about freeing yourself from automatic responses that may no longer serve you, allowing your authentic self to emerge and thrive. Over time, these practices become as natural as daily hygiene routines.
The full journey typically takes 3-6 months, but everyone moves at their own pace. This is your unique journey!
Take your time, let each new understanding settle in before moving to the next.
We've designed each step to give you early wins while gradually working with deeper patterns. Feel free to return to any chapter that particularly resonates with you.
Sometimes you might wonder why we're focusing on certain areas - trust that each practice helps gently release old patterns that might be holding you back.
Yes, new habits might feel a bit uncomfortable at first - that's completely normal when learning any new skill. But soon enough, they'll feel natural and effortless. Remember, your brain is always ready to adapt and grow, no matter your age or circumstances.
