The Taskmaster Pattern
- Are you stressed out from overworking?
- Do you have no time for anything except work?
- Do you hear a voice judging you for not working hard enough?
- Do you feel like you’ll never be competent enough?
- Are you constantly rushing to get things done?
This is the Taskmaster Pattern. Click here for more information.XIf you have the Taskmaster Pattern, you have an intense focus on hard work or discipline. You may have this because you want to be successful and thereby gain the satisfactions of success—money, praise, power, freedom, or admiration. You may do this because you want to avoid being a failure or mediocre and being judged, shamed, or rejected. You might be more concerned with developing a discipline such as meditation or exercise or eating in a healthy way. You might be focused on accomplishing things that are needed for your life to work, such as doing your taxes or mowing your lawn, or creating a discipline for health or meditation. This becomes a problem when you push yourself too hard or expect too much, not allowing yourself to be relaxed and easy. You may not respect your need for a healthy balance in your life.
The biggest problem is when your Taskmaster attacks you for 'not living up to its expectations'. It may believe that you must work very hard or be extremely well-disciplined to get results. It believes that the best way to get you to do this is for it to tell you in no uncertain terms what you should be doing, and to push you unmercifully to do it. It thinks that the harder it pushes, the more likely you are to succeed. Your Taskmaster may believe that if you take any time off from your project or fail even once to do your discipline, you will be a failure. It may set high standards and expect you to meet them completely.

What People Are Saying
"I gained some pretty incredible insights from Self-Therapy Journey that had never hit me before about the motivations of my Taskmaster. The last stage seemed perfectly designed to further the inner work that had already started to occur—identifying and challenging unrealistic fears, and developing some self-talk to challenge and soothe these fears. The program also helped me to recognize what my own pattern triggers in other people—especially my husband. Overall this was an enormously helpful program. I love that it is self-paced and can be done in one’s own timeframe from the privacy of home. It really allowed me to explore my pattern in a safe, titrated way, and to gain some amazing insights."
-- S. D., psychotherapist

Self-Therapy Journey is based on
two comprehensive and powerful systems!
Click here to see a larger version of this chart.
1. The Pattern System®
The Pattern System is a breakthrough in understanding personality, a Periodic Table for psychology, created by Jay Earley, PhD.
It is a systematic approach to understanding your personality oriented toward psychological healing and personal growth, Self-Therapy Journey contains about 25 patterns, which are ways of behaving and feeling that you might want to change, such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, self-criticism, or avoiding intimacy.
Self-Therapy Journey helps you transform each pattern into a healthy capacity, such as assertiveness, ease, self-esteem, or cooperation. It also allows you to heal 14 different emotional wounds from childhood, such as being deprived or judged or feeling unlovable.
Everyone is unique! And the Pattern System recognizes this. You aren't put into a box. You get to understand the details of your particular personality.
The Pattern System provides the psychological content and IFS provides the therapy process.

2. Internal Family Systems Therapy
Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) is on the cutting edge of psychotherapy. It allows you to understand your psyche in a new way and create deep, powerful healing of old emotional wounds and trauma. IFS is a recognized, proven method for individual psychotherapy with a robust training program and thousands of certified therapists.
IFS enables you to understand each of the parts of your psyche, sometimes called sub-personalities. You can think of them as little people inside you. Each has its own perspective, feelings, memories, goals, and motivations. For example, one part of you might be trying to lose weight, and another part might want to eat whatever you want.
We all have many different parts, and we each have a spiritual center, the Self, which is compassionate, understanding, and grounded. Through IFS you can learn to stay in Self, develop a relationship with each of your parts, and heal them.
The key is that the your healing comes from you! This means that you can do IFS on your own, without a therapist, which is what makes Self-Therapy Journey possible.

| I was amazed with the ease of use of STJ and how quickly it helped to identify areas in which I was having difficulty. The guided mediations helped me understand the underlying intention behind my pattern. The homework practice turned out beautifully, allowing me to be more cooperative with others. I learned to re-state confusing feelings in an accepting and loving way. I can now let go of those parts that are no longer serving me.
