Seeing the Pattern Beneath the Story

So seeing the pattern beneath the story is both a pattern and an important skill to master from both psychological healing perspective and spiritual healing perspective. Often people come to me and they say, I've worked on so many of my patterns, I don't know why they keep coming back, why do I have to keep doing this, it doesn't make any sense to me. And I tell them, it's because you have not gotten to the root of the pattern. How much you work on a pattern when it's in its superficial expression is of very little importance or consequence.

How much you become familiar with the root of the pattern is very important. That's all that really matters. And there's not really that many patterns, unhealthy patterns of behavior. I'm not quite sure how many, but I would probably say like five patterns, seven patterns, maybe less.

But they take on all different expressions throughout our life.
