The pattern is a signal, not bad luck — it's pointing to an old wound that hasn't healed yet.

The trigger is present-day, but the size of your reaction tells you about the wound, not the person.

You're not broken — you're running old software that once kept you safe.

Recognition without blame is the work: 'This keeps happening. What is it trying to show me?'

Seeing the pattern is what lets you choose differently next time. Save this for later.
