Identity-Level Therapy

Identity-Level Therapy targets the belief patterns and emotional loops driving automatic reactions—not just the surface symptoms.
By working at the identity layer, clients shift how they interpret safety, regulate threat, and relate to themselves and others.
The result: reconditioning at the root of shame, self-sabotage, reactivity, and overwhelm.

It’s organized around three pillars:

  • ShiftGrit Core Method™ — our structured framework for breaking outdated identity patterns.

  • The Pattern Library — real-world examples of loops like perfectionism, procrastination, and shutdown.

  • The Glossary — clear definitions that keep the language sharp and the process transparent.

By organizing therapy at the identity layer, we cut through confusion and get to the root—transforming the loops that hold people back.

For the foundational definition of Identity-Level Therapy, visit the page in the ShiftGrit Pattern Library.
