Would you believe me if I told you that what you think of as your personality?

Maybe you're hilarious, shy, maybe you're a go-getter, or maybe you're a neat freak.

What if I told you that might not actually be your personality, but rather a personality pattern?

Or maybe have you ever caught yourself wondering why you do the things you do? Like why you get so

angry and yell when your kids are moving at a snail's pace in the morning? Or why it's hard to relax

when the house is a mess? If so, you've got to take my personality patterns quiz. Here's what's

going on. When you were a child, whenever an experience overwhelmed your

nervous system, you subconsciously built a defense against that overwhelm. And over time,

those defenses became a habit, and then they became a pattern. And now as an adult,

what we think of as our personality is often this defense pattern

running the show. Interesting, right? There's five personality patterns, and they're not

personality types like the Enneagram or the Myers-Briggs, but rather they describe the safety

strategies that we immediately go to when we start to feel overwhelmed.

They don't describe who we are, but rather what is blocking who we are.

The good news is that once you take my quiz and learn about your pattern, you can start to learn

skills to break out of that pattern and live and parent our kids as our true and authentic self.
