Episode notes
Why do you keep reacting the same way, even when you want to change? In this episode of Strategies for Living, Dr. David McMillian and Lauren Leon McMillian explore the unconscious patterns that shape our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Learn how childhood conditioning creates patterns like the pleaser, controller, avoider, performer, and defender, and discover practical tools for recognizing these automatic responses so you can experience greater freedom, healing, mindfulness, and authentic living.
