Even when something is painful, we seek it, the body and the mind has been programmed for a set point of feeling (or lack of feeling). -Freud
Repetition Compulsion and Why It Happens
* Seeking mastery: The brain tries to rewrite history to gain a happier ending.
* Familiarity comfort: Toxic patterns feel safer than unknown healthy dynamics.
* Unresolved trauma: Active defense mechanisms attempt to process old emotional wounds.
* Ego defense: The mind recreates scenarios to validate existing core beliefs.
I think movement that builds and supports awareness can help challenge core beliefs and false narratives, shifts your perspective and your set point for feeling or non-feeling if that’s your current reality.
My love of movement and teaching isn’t only about the body. It’s centered on the psychological benefits that I have experienced firsthand.
