from the same site:
Patterns are repetitive behaviors or modes of response, created by frozen or denied pain. They are mostly outside our conscious awareness, existing in our blind spot, although often fairly easy for others to identify in us
Patterns are both a way of behaving in the world, and a way of seeing the world.
A pattern is also a cage, which imprisons us and locks us into ways of interacting that do not serve us.
These are examples of patterns, repeated ways of behaving and interacting with the world.
I think I get it.
There is much more, but to give the jist of what the author, and Hammer, was trying to say....
