Healing isn't linear. Sometimes healing looks like getting bored of your own story. Not in a dismissive way. In an "I've extracted everything this can teach me" way.

"Why am I like this" is almost never the right question. "What was this solving when it started" gets you somewhere. This is how you change your limiting beliefs.

The common way to remove a negative pattern is to "see the pattern" and it will dissolve. "Just become aware of it and it will shift." I don't buy it. Awareness without friction becomes a spectator sport. You can name your limiting belief. Journal about it. Talk about it in
