Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- There are things I treat as plain facts about myself and the world, and I’m starting to suspect some of them are just views I’ve never questioned
- I follow a set of unwritten rules in my roles so automatically I’ve never asked if they’re even mine, and I’m so defined by what others expect of me that I can’t tell where their expectations end and I begin.
- I can name the deep fear that keeps me stuck
- I genuinely want to make this change and I keep not doing it, and it’s not laziness
- I keep deferring to what other people think is right and then feel hollow about decisions that were never really mine

- Kegan’s Subject-Object Theory, Made Practical
Robert Kegan’s subject-object theory holds that adult development is a series of shifts in what you are "subject to" (run by, unable to see) versus what you can hold as "object" (observe and reflect on). Each developmental order expands what you can see about yourself and others, and the practices that support these transitions — reflective inquiry, perspective-taking, immunity mapping — have clinical grounding, though the stage theory itself is based primarily on observational and interview research. - Conduct a subject-object audit
