The drive to repeat familiar patterns of chaotic behavior is common no matter how painful or self-defeating those behaviors are. The familiar provides a sense of structure in our spiritually chaotic lives. One reason why it is so difficult to change the way you think, feel, and behave is that your toxic beliefs were formed early in life and have been reinforced and strengthened over time. Our fear of uncertainty is often more powerful than the pain associated with being stuck in a negative rut.
