Habit pattern is an automatic way of holding or moving that runs outside awareness.
A jaw that clenches in traffic; a shoulder that lives up; a breath that stops at a screen. In 📝Somatic Practice naming it is how it becomes optional. You are not broken; you are patterned. The phrase is a description, not a diagnosis, and not a claim that a habit caused a disease.
Clients often laugh when they catch it. The practice is noticing, then a small other option, not a war on the pattern. Flooding means stop.
