If you feel stuck in patterns that don’t seem to change — even though you understand why — you’re not alone. Many people come to therapy with insight into their experiences, yet still find themselves overwhelmed, disconnected, or repeating the same emotional or relational patterns. This is often because these patterns are not held in thoughts alone, but in the nervous system and in how the brain has adapted over time.
