I Know This Shape
By Sharon Mackenzie
Recognising the Patterns We Get Caught In — and Finding Our Way Out
Sometimes you don't know what to call what is happening. You just know you've seen this shape before.
I Know This Shape draws together Sharon Mackenzie's original human behaviour patterns and frameworks to explore communication, power, belonging, silence, chasing, withholding, responsibility, dignity, discernment, boundaries, forgiveness and internal authority.
This isn't a book for diagnosing difficult people. It's a book for recognising what is happening between us. Because once we can see the pattern, we have choices. Recognition is not the destination. Freedom is. See the pattern. Find your footing. And then go and live.
