Examine a Recurring Pattern in Your Behaviour

You keep doing the same thing, you know it costs you, and knowing has not stopped it. This looks at the pattern through three lenses to find what it is quietly protecting or rewarding. It suits people who have heard the feedback and want more than another resolution. You get a clear read on the mechanism and a first lever to change it.

<context>
You have noticed a recurring pattern in yourself: {RECURRING_PATTERN}. This pattern shows up in [contexts: e.g. relationships / work / family / all areas]. You have [tried to change it before / not seriously engaged with it / been told about it by others]. The cost of this pattern is [describe what it is costing you].
</context>

<task>
**Analyse this pattern through three psychological lenses** and identify a practical path to change:
1. **Behavioural**: what is the trigger-behaviour-reward loop maintaining this pattern?
2. **Cognitive**: what belief or assumption is driving the behaviour? (surface the hidden rule)
3. **Developmental**: might this pattern have been adaptive at an earlier life stage but be obsolete now?

For each lens, describe what you see and one experiment to test whether your analysis is accurate before committing to a change strategy.

<output_format>
- Three-lens analysis (one paragraph per lens)
- Hidden rule extracted (one sentence, in the form "I must..." or "People will...")
- Three micro-experiments (one per lens, each under one week)
- One-sentence reframe of the pattern from flaw to former strength
