Core Pattern Intensive
Stop going around it. Go beneath it.
If you’re stuck in a loop, this is for you.
We all get caught in patterns and symptoms, usually the same ones. It can feel like we’re back to square one, but we never are. Our patterns are our vulnerabilities, our filter for experiencing the world.
They are smart and helpful until they become rigid.
You can think yourself in circles trying to understand it. Analyse it to death. And still find yourself back at square one.
Like a stray cat you fed. It just keeps coming back.
This work comes at it from a different angle entirely.
We use evocative images and metaphors to take your overthinking mind offline. What emerges is the energetic core of the pattern. Not the story you already know by heart. The essence of it. In sensation, imagery, and the dynamics underneath.
Once we have that, we can work with it precisely.
HOW WE WORK
Session One: Discovery.
We use evocative images to bypass overthinking and uncover the underlying energy and dynamics of your core pattern. You’ll walk away with a felt sense of what’s actually been driving the pattern.
Session Two: Renegotiation.
We renegotiate your relationship with the pattern using somatic, relational, and energetic approaches to create real movement. You’ll walk away with practices to reinforce the shift.
If you want to continue into deeper work, the Core Pattern Intensive applies as a credit toward Through the Shadowlands within 30 days.

What We Can Move
No two patterns are alike. Here’s some examples of what this work has surfaced:
-
-
- Excluded ancestral energy driving a life-threatening level of overwhelm. Giving it a place reduced the oppressiveness and made productivity more possible.
- Anxiety from fear of abandonment renegotiated by giving the brain and body the experience of surviving it, so that less reassurance seeking was needed.
- Pressurized anger rising out of grief like a volcano. Creating a release valve helped keep the anger from becoming explosive, and deeper work with the grief became available.
- Grace and flow competing with self editing and control, brought into balance. Bringing flexibility in moving between the two, as both are needed at different times.
- Stuck movement and power from early in life. We renegotiated her relationship to power at its first use, and more of it became available.

IN Their Words
“When you’re constantly regulating it can feel like sweeping something under the rug. With this work, I’m not only expanding feelings within my body, but I’m expanding my sense of self.”
“In the other work I’ve done, I all of the sudden hit a spot where I can’t dig anymore. That’s where this work really kicked in.”
Why Work With Me?
Hi, I’m Sara Taylor, PhD. Neuroscientist. Former psychology professor. Generational and existential coach.
The people who find me have done significant inner work and are still hitting a wall. Existential burnout. Repeated career or creative sabotage. Overfunctioning and overresponsibility. Guilt around success. Anxiety or anger that don’t resolve no matter what they do.
I work at the intersection of generational healing, family systems, and somatic approaches.
In the layers underneath the patterns that keep repeating.
