Why Understanding Your Problems Isn’t Enough to Change

Описание: Lots of people understand their patterns clearly - and still feel stuck.
In this video, I explore why insight alone often isn’t enough to create change, and why the issue isn’t willpower, motivation, or discipline. I look at how the nervous system affects our ability to move differently, even when we “know better”.

This is a calm, grounded exploration of why pushing harder rarely works, and what actually helps change to begin.

If you’ve spent years understanding yourself, reflecting deeply, or doing therapy, and still find yourself repeating the same patterns, this video offers a different way of looking at change.

I talk about how change requires more than insight, why the body needs safety before behaviour can shift, and how over-effort can keep us stuck.

This isn’t about fixing yourself. This isn’t about fixing yourself.
It’s about understanding what change really asks for.

I’m Shelley Treacher, a psychotherapist specialising in somatic therapy, anxiety, emotional eating, and relationship patterns.
