Life Pattern Workbook: Changing Life Patterns for Good

The Life Patterns Workbook is designed to begin with an individual’s history and experiences. From there, it teaches a person the impact that stress has on their personality. Next, it shows a concise way to understated the patterns they learned from their caregivers. Then, it guides the person to an understanding of how the pattern operates in their life now. And, the Workbook culminates in a working system to consciously change patterns. At its conclusion, the Workbook offers consistent guidelines to maintain healthy patterns after they are formed. Life Patterns Workbook uses the principles of Pattern Theory and Pattern Therapy to teach people how to understand and change individual Life Patterns. Pattern Theory is a dynamic explanation of the interplay between environments, people, and biology within personality formation. It demonstrates how life stress impacts thinking and problem solving. It produces an integrated explanation of personality that combines multiple theories into a single unified understanding of human development. Pattern Therapy is a biopsychosocial treatment process that combines educational training with supportive psychotherapy to teach people what patterns are and how they operate, both positively and negatively, in their life. To work effectively, Pattern Therapy surfaces problems of repeating behaviors, points out real issues, and shows how they can be changed. When the underlying pattern is known, the client makes conscious life decisions and changes at the core of their problem. Using the Life Patterns Workbook allows someone who is serious about change to learn about patterns, recognize the impact of patterns in their life, and change troublesome patterns using a consistent and structured process.
