I'm "self-aware" about all my problems but nothing changes. Expose this: self-awareness without action is just sophisticated self-torture. I can name all my patterns, I know why I do things, I understand my childhood wounds - and I'm still doing the same shit. Map every problem I'm "aware" of and how long I've been aware while doing nothing. Then reveal the function: I'm using self-awareness as a substitute for change. Naming the problem makes me feel like I'm addressing it without actually addressing it. I collect insights like trophies while my life stays the same. Self-awareness is my excuse for inaction: "I know why I'm like this" becomes the reason I don't have to change. Show me where awareness has become paralysis, where insight has become identity, and where understanding has become acceptance of the unacceptable. Include: what I'm avoiding by staying in analysis, why I choose awareness over action, and whether I want to understand myself or actually change.
