The Catalyst
A 16-part journey from resistance to radical transformation. Stop talking about the problem and start solving it.
These exercises are for patients who feel they need to be challenged and recognize they need to be pushed.
Phase 1: The Wake-Up Call
Confronting reality and taking radical ownership.
1. The Reality Check
Stop asking 'why' and start asking 'is it working?' A tool for brutal honesty.
2. The Hidden Payoff
Why do you keep doing things that hurt you? Find the hidden benefit.
3. Radical Responsibility
Move from 'It's not my fault' to 'It is my move.' Take your power back.
4. Action First
Destroy the 'I'll do it when I feel like it' myth. Motivation follows action.
Phase 2: Breaking the Chains
Dismantling the internal mechanics of self-sabotage.
5. The Victim Trap
Identifying the language of powerlessness ('I can't' vs 'I won't').
6. The Cost of Being Right
Would you rather be right, or would you rather be free? Dropping the ego.
7. Emotional Sobriety
Stop using chaos and drama to regulate your nervous system.
8. The Story You Tell
Rewriting the narrative of 'I am broken' into a story of resilience.
Phase 3: The Pivot
Changing how you relate to yourself and others.
9. The Integrity Gap
Self-esteem comes from keeping promises to yourself.
10. Boundaries as Bridges
Setting terms of engagement without guilt. Boundaries protect connection.
11. Kill the Hope
Letting go of the hope for a better past. Radical Acceptance.
12. The Courage to Disappoint
Breaking the chains of people-pleasing. Your 'yes' means nothing if you can't say 'no'.
Phase 4: The New Normal
Mastery, integration, and becoming the agent of change.
13. Embracing the Suck
Building antifragility. Doing hard things on purpose to build strength.
14. Shadow Boxing
Owning the parts of yourself you project onto others.
15. The Death of the Old Self
A ritual of letting go. You cannot become who you are going to be while clinging to who you were.
16. The Catalyst
Becoming the agent of change in your own life. The final integration.
