Five questions. One honest look at what may be keeping you stuck.

Question 1 matters. Be specific. Tell us what keeps happening, what you have tried, and what you wish were different. The next four questions are quick click-throughs.

1 The Story Tell us about the situation or pattern you keep finding yourself in. What keeps happening, what have you tried, and what do you wish were different?

Be specific, but you do not need to write a book.0 / 1400

2 When you imagine doing something genuinely different, what tends to stop you?

Select all that apply.

I’m afraid someone will be disappointed, disapprove, or think less of me. I want to avoid conflict, tension, or making things worse. I don’t know what will happen if I change it. I feel responsible for how other people will feel or cope. Changing it would challenge who I am or the role I’m supposed to play. I don’t want to lose control of what happens next. Part of me thinks choosing differently would mean something bad about me. I’m afraid changing it could cost me closeness, belonging, or the relationship.

3 Staying with the current pattern helps you preserve or avoid losing what?

Select all that apply.

Other people’s approval or respect. Peace, calm, or the absence of confrontation. Predictability — at least I know what this situation is. The sense that I’m taking care of what other people need. My identity, role, reputation, or the person I’m expected to be. A sense of control over what happens next. My belief that I’m a good, reasonable, or responsible person. Connection, belonging, closeness, or the relationship itself.

4 If you truly changed this pattern, what feels most at risk?

Choose up to 3.

Being respected, liked, or approved of. Keeping the peace. Knowing what comes next. Other people being okay. Who I am or the role I’ve built my life around. My ability to manage the outcome. My confidence in my judgment or worth. Closeness, belonging, or an important relationship.

5 Which statements feel uncomfortably close to true for you in this situation?

Select all that apply.

If someone I care about disapproves, I probably should reconsider. Keeping peace can feel more important than saying what I really want. A known problem can feel safer than an unknown outcome. If my choice hurts someone, it feels partly like my job to fix it. I should be consistent with the person people expect me to be. I feel safer when I can predict or manage what happens next. Making the wrong choice would say something about my worth or judgment. Protecting connection sometimes means putting my own preference second.
