LIFE PATTERNS

Often people find themselves in self-defeating, repetitive patterns involving dissatisfying relationships, failure to reach potentials in job or career, or fears that hinder the ability to function and perform optimally.

Life Patterns Assessment
If you answer "Yes" to 3 or more of the questions below, OR if you have a strong "Yes, that describes me perfectly!" reaction to even one or two questions, you will benefit from counseling for Life Patterns.

1. Do you feel you can never get quite enough stability, nurturance, understanding, acceptance, respect or love?
2. Do you often question your ability to function independently and perform successfully without a great deal of help from others?
3. Do you sometimes get direct messages or hints from others that they see you as controlling, self-centered or irresponsible?
4. Do you find it difficult to work cooperatively with others?
5. Do you have trouble making and keeping commitments and setting realistic goals, in your personal, relationship or career life? For example, do you start but not finish projects, make promises you do not keep, underachieve relative to your ability or set impossibly high goals?
6. Do you often find yourself sacrificing your own needs or inclinations in order to please others?
7. When you set out to satisfy your own desires and needs, do you sometimes feel guilty or fearful of others' reactions?
8. Do you often hold back on expressing your feelings and opinions?
9. Would you welcome being free from the sense that your life is a "revolving door," a series of repetitions of negative, self-defeating patterns?
