Inherited Patterns, Invisible Roles
We inherit more than eye colour or traditions from our families.
We inherit unspoken rules, emotional roles, and nervous system cues.
The “fixer,” the “quiet one,” the “strong one,” the “troublemaker.”
Sometimes those roles were assigned without words.
Sometimes they were survival strategies.
