Kati Morton: Why Do I Keep Doing This? - Roundtable

We discuss psychologist Kati Morton’s book: Why Do I Do This – Unlearn the Habits Keeping You Stuck and Unhappy. In a vibrant discussion, topics explored included: How repeated behaviours carve deep mental "ruts" that feel effortless to follow and require real effort and discomfort to change; 2. The need for control expressed in people-pleasing, perfectionism, and impression management, as futile attempts to control how others perceive us; Anxiety, the ego, and the necessity of "feeling your way through" rather than intellectual insight to break these patterns; How avoiding difficult conversations creates suffocating, superficial relationships contrasted with naming problems directly to deepen trust; and authenticity that flows from relaxing into being rather than performing for others.
