Too many thoughts are competing for your attention

What Is the Pattern Recognition Collection™?
The Pattern Recognition Collection™ is a growing library of downloadable self-reflection workbooks created to help you identify recurring patterns across your thoughts, behaviours, relationships and everyday experiences.
When you can recognise a pattern, you are in a better position to change it.
Mental Clutter
Your mind can hold thoughts, worries, assumptions and internal conversations all at the same time. When they start competing for your attention, it can be difficult to tell what is simply a thought in the moment and what has become a recurring pattern.
Pattern recognition helps you start separating the two.
When there is too much to unpack at once

Untangle the pattern
Rather than trying to understand everything happening in your mind at once, each volume isolates one recurring internal conversation.
By looking more closely at the thoughts, behaviours and patterns connected to it, you can begin to recognise what keeps happening, when it happens and what might be keeping it going.
At Grid Society™, we call these recurring patterns Grey Voices™.
One pattern at a time
Giving one recurring pattern your attention makes it easier to see it clearly, question it and decide whether it still deserves a place in the way you think and respond.
When keeping everyone happy starts costing you
Our Building Boundaries Workshop brought us here...
It Started in Our Workshops
The ideas behind this workbook grew from our Building Boundaries workshop, first delivered at the Counselling & Psychotherapy Training Academy (CPTA) for Level 4 counsellors.
As we delivered the workshop and listened to participants, the same internal conversations kept appearing. People spoke about struggling to say "no", feeling responsible for everyone else, putting other people's needs before their own and feeling guilty whenever they tried to set healthy boundaries.
What sounded like individual experiences began to reveal something bigger: recurring patterns around people-pleasing, guilt and the boundaries people felt able to set.
Built around the Grid Society™ concept
The collection is built around the Universal Grid™, our signature Grid Society™ concept. A concept that we have successfully used with counsellors, educators, colleges, universities and professionals.
The Grey Grid™, Green Grid™ and Orange Grid™ provide three different perspectives for exploring your thinking, making recurring patterns easier to recognise and understand.
From workshops to the Pattern Recognition framework
We wanted to take what we were seeing in our Building Boundaries workshop and create something people could return to whenever those same patterns appeared again.
That became part of the Pattern Recognition framework, turning recurring internal conversations around people-pleasing and boundaries into a structured workbook that can be used wherever and whenever the pattern starts showing up again.

How people use the workbook
#1
5-minute check-in
You do not have to complete the workbook from beginning to end. Open any section that feels useful in the moment and spend five minutes checking in with your thoughts, behaviours or the pattern that is showing up.
#2
Journal with more focus
Use the journalling prompts when you want to go deeper. Instead of staring at a blank page wondering what to write, use the prompts to give your journalling more structure, direction and focus.
#3
See how far you have come
Do not rely on memory to tell you how your thinking has changed. Use the Pattern Tracker™ and journalling prompts to spot what keeps repeating, explore what is behind it and see how your thinking changes over time.
The Workbook Collection is growing...
The collection continues...
The Pattern Recognition Collection™ is a growing collection of practical self-reflection workbooks built around Grid Society’s Universal Grid™ concept.
Designed for real life, the collection can go wherever you do. Open a workbook on your phone at a café, take it with you on your tablet while travelling, use it on your computer at home or print it when you want to work with pen and paper.
New titles will continue to join the collection, bringing more patterns to explore, more internal conversations to recognise and more workbooks to discover.
