Background Processes
The fears, survival patterns, and old logic that keep running in your mind whether you notice them or not. Some were installed by you, some by your environment, some by people who raised you. This setting is not about stopping them — it is about whether you even know they are there.
Maria Georges and Realizing She Pushes People Away
Background Processes are the old patterns running underneath behavior that you may not even consciously notice. Maria Georges had a push-pull pattern with romantic partners that had been operating for years across multiple relationships — she'd withhold when someone came on strong, then want them back the moment they left. This process was running automatically; it felt like protection. The shift came when she finally saw it was a background process, not a choice she was actively making.
