Green Psychology teaches us an emotional practice that includes understanding our core patterns. Understanding our core patterns gives us great leverage in changing our behaviors, because instead of repeatedly telling “our story,” or chasing our symptoms, or trying to avoid that which we dislike about ourselves . . . we focus on one primary pattern. As we transform the limitations of our earliest core pattern, all our behaviors and beliefs that formed as a result of our core pattern begin to change. At the heart of this practice is learning how to accept every part of ourselves and give an adult voice to each of our parts.
I resolved in myself some of the deepest issues of my entire life. I’m not sure how this is possible to do in eight days, but it’s exactly what I did.

I realized that the men I have been in relationship with didn’t make me lose myself, growing up in my family didn’t make that happen, I did. I am the one who lost myself.

I now stay present with myself and accept many different parts of myself. I don’t run from myself—which kept me from being present. Previous to Green Psychology I would leave my body and try to avoid situations where I might discomfort myself because of a judgment I’m making about myself. Now I stay with myself and feel more of myself, which is leading to much better decisions in my life.
