Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

- I can name the deep fear that keeps me stuck
- When a feeling grabs me I become it
- I genuinely want to make this change and I keep not doing it, and it’s not laziness

Practices that may help
- 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
Identify what is currently running you without your awareness versus what you can observe and question.
Kegan’s Subject-Object Theory, Made Practical - Test the big assumption behind your immunity
Design a small experiment to check whether the assumption keeping you stuck is actually true.
Kegan’s Subject-Object Theory, Made Practical - Make the subject-object move
Turn something that has you ("I am anxious") into something you have and can examine ("I notice anxiety in me").

Lazarus Appraisal Theory, Made Practical - Prepare coping self-talk in advance
Script what you will say to yourself at the trigger, during the peak, and afterward — before you need it.
