About this episode

Mark Groves discusses the reasons behind returning to harmful patterns and emphasizes the importance of healing and self-trust.

In this episode I break down why you keep going back to the same person, pattern, or behavior and why it’s not failure, it’s unfinished healing. I unpack how shame keeps you stuck, how unresolved grief is driving your choices, and why you’re not going backwards, you’re being shown what still needs to be healed. This is a call to stop avoiding the deeper work, start choosing yourself, and finally build the self-trust that changes everything. Resources: Get My Book!
