Identity-Level Therapy
Identity-Level Therapy refers to therapeutic approaches that target the belief patterns and emotional loops beneath our automatic reactions—not just the surface symptoms.
By working at the identity layer, we help clients shift how they interpret safety, how they regulate threat, and how they relate to themselves and others.
This category explores applied insights, structured tools, and examples of how identity-level reconditioning helps transform shame, self-sabotage, reactivity, and emotional overwhelm—at the root.
🧠 Want to see how these loops show up in real life?
Explore our Pattern Library to learn how we treat perfectionism, procrastination, anger, shutdown, and more—by targeting the loop, not just the symptom.
