Does This Sound Familiar?

‍

Every January, you set goals with hope and determination:

• "This year, I'll finally get healthy"
• "This year, I'll improve my relationship"
• "This year, I'll prioritise my mental health"
• "This year will be different"

‍

And then... by mid-February, it's all fallen apart.

‍

Again.

‍

You wonder: "What's wrong with me? Why can't I stick to anything? Am I the only one who fails like this?"

‍

Here's the truth: There's nothing wrong with you.

‍

You're not failing because you lack discipline, willpower, or motivation.

‍

You're failing because you have protective parts of yourself—patterns developed years ago—that are quietly sabotaging your goals in the only way they know how to keep you safe.

‍

And until you understand these patterns, you'll keep repeating the same cycle:

‍

Goal → Excitement → Sabotage → Shame → Repeat

‍

What If There Was a Different Way?

‍

What if instead of fighting yourself harder, you could finally understand yourself?

‍

What if your "self-sabotage" wasn't a character flaw, but a protective pattern trying to help you—just in a dysfunctional way?

‍

What if you could work with your internal system instead of against it?

‍

That's exactly what this workshop teaches.

‍

Using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)—two evidence-based therapeutic approaches—you'll learn to:

• Identify your protective pattern (Perfectionist, Avoider, Inner Critic, People-Pleaser, or Controller)
• Understand what it's protecting you from (the fears driving your sabotage)
• Recognise the emotions beneath your defeces (what you really need)
• Discover your attachment needs in relationships (why patterns show up with partners)
• Create sustainable goals that honour both growth AND safety
• Leave with a personalised action plan specific to YOUR patterns

‍

This isn't about more willpower. It's about finally understanding the wisdom of your internal system.

‍

In This 90-Minute Workshop, You'll:

‍

🗺️ Map Your Internal System

Go beyond surface behaviours to understand your complete protective system—not just one pattern, but how all your parts interact and conflict.

‍

💡 Discover What's Really Driving Your Sabotage

Learn the specific fears and unmet needs beneath your protective patterns. It's not what you think.

‍

🎭 Identify Your Protective Pattern

Are you the Perfectionist who quits at the first mistake? The Avoider who procrastinates on what matters? The Inner Critic who attacks yourself into paralysis? The People-Pleaser who abandons your goals for others? The Controller who can't start without certainty?

‍

❤️ Access Your Primary Emotions

Beneath your defences (anger, withdrawal, criticism) are softer emotions seeking expression (fear, loneliness, shame). Learn to recognise and work with them.

‍

🔗 Understand Your Relationship Patterns

Discover how your protective patterns create "negative cycles" with your partner—where both people's defenses trigger each other.

‍

🎯 Create Goals That Actually Work

Learn to set goals that honour both your desire for growth AND your need for safety—so you finally stop sabotaging yourself.

‍

Walk away with a personalised roadmap specific to YOUR protective patterns—not generic advice that doesn't fit you.

Mental Health Coach & Multicultural Couples Therapist

‍

Evelyne is an experienced therapist based in Dubai, specialising in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), cross-cultural relationships, and expat family dynamics.

"In two sessions, Evelyne has managed to help me release a heavy belief I had carried with me my entire life—something I never thought could shift so quickly and clearly.
