Breaking free from negative patterns

A guided path to recognize unhealthy habits.

Case Detail Image
01. The challenge

Ten-year-old Arnav struggled with repeating negative behavior patterns that affected his daily life. He often reacted impulsively, becoming frustrated over small situations and shutting down emotionally. His teachers noticed he frequently avoided tasks he found difficult, reinforcing his lack of confidence. At home, he would blame himself for mistakes, slipping into self-criticism and withdrawal. He found it hard to break the cycle of negative thoughts, which made him feel stuck and overwhelmed. Socially, Arnav doubted his abilities, leading to misunderstandings with friends and classmates.

02. The solution

Arnav’s therapist created a structured and supportive plan to transform his thought and behavior patterns.

  • Cognitive-behavioral exercises to identify and challenge negative thoughts
  • Role-play sessions to practice healthier responses in difficult situations
  • Emotional awareness activities to help him understand and express feelings
  • Problem-solving exercises to build confidence in handling real-life challenges
  • Positive behavior reinforcement to motivate consistent progress
  • Parent coaching to encourage supportive and calm communication
  • Daily reflection activities to track improvements and strengthen self-belief
03. The result

Over time, Arnav began recognizing his negative patterns and learned how to interrupt them. He developed healthier responses to frustration and approached challenges more calmly. His confidence improved as he started completing tasks he had previously avoided. He became more open in expressing his feelings, leading to stronger communication at home. Teachers noticed a shift in his attitude—more focus, patience, and willingness to try. He began forming better friendships as misunderstandings decreased.

His self-criticism slowly transformed into self-encouragement and positive thinking. Daily reflection helped him appreciate his progress and believe in his abilities. Family dynamics improved as Arnav learned to communicate and manage emotions constructively.
