Break the Behavior Patterns That Keep You Stuck in Trauma, Stress, and Everyday Life
Do you feel stuck facing the same challenges repeatedly? Maybe it’s a job that drains your energy, a relationship that never seems to work, or habits you just can’t seem to break. If so, you’re not alone—and there’s a reason for it.
Patterns formed in childhood shape the choices we make as adults. These patterns often become automatic responses to trauma, stress, and everyday life. We call these reenactments—deeply ingrained habits in your brain, body, and mind that lead to recurring adverse outcomes.
In this groundbreaking book, psychologists Tony Iezzi and Melanie Duckworth introduce a compelling new framework for breaking reenactments.
You’ll learn how to recognize these patterns and replace them with healthier, more empowering choices. Using the Reenactment Decision Matrix and a unique 5-step analytic tool, this guidebook will help you:
Identify your reenactments
Understand their origins and make conscious choices that improve you in the present
Deepen your empathy for others and contribute to a more compassionate world.

If you’re ready to transform your life, then Reenactments is your next step.

My Review I knew I needed this, I’ve recently really been struggling with my health, my partners health, moving house which is an enforced move after 21yrs. (Landlord selling up) so to have a book I can glance at as and when I need too. Rather than read from cover to cover in a few sittings.

As someone who went from a snow boarding, horse riding,raver with 4 small girls, to a disabled house bound woman who could barely walk, the grief you undergo becoming disabled and seeing all you have lost, and what you will lose in the future, can be soul crushing. I can identify with the people featured in this book. It gives me a great reminder that as I lost my mobility, instead of focusing on what I lost, I focused on gaining new things, such as great community on Twitter, other hip patient friends, began selling jewellery and even got chosen by Theo Paphitis small business Sunday winner in 2012. This book is incredible at helping you find a nicer or better pathway of thinking, acting and reacting. It came just at the right time.
