In this episode of The Sober Edge, Teri Patterson explores how many of the behaviors we criticize\u2014procrastination, perfectionism, avoidance, people-pleasing, and even shutting down\u2014may actually be nervous system strategies designed to keep us safe. Drawing on neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and her own experience after more than ten years alcohol-free, Teri explains why growth can feel threatening, why we return to familiar patterns, and how compassion creates lasting change far more effectively than criticism ever could. Rather than asking, &quot;What's wrong with me?&quot; this episode invites listeners to ask a different question: &quot;What is this behavior trying to protect me from?&quot; It's a conversation about moving from fear to curiosity, from judgment to understanding, and creating the safety our brains need to build new pathways forward.
