The Lens Shift Process
Find here, a transformative tool to uncover and shift the hidden, protective mechanisms in your psyche that may be holding you back.
In every interaction, our subconscious either seeks connection or leans on protective devices—responses that often become automatic and limit our experiences over time.
This exercise empowers you to recognize these protective patterns, from unyielding beliefs to default responses like freeze, fawn, or fight, and begin rewiring them towards connection and resilience.
This is a great tool to have handy when your internal stories start to take over and you could use a dose of reality.
Who's this for?
Perfect for those invested in personal growth, resilience, or shadow work, this exercise is an essential part of any resilience toolkit for creating deeper relationships, self-understanding, and empowered choices.

Why this?
Protective devices like rigid beliefs, self-sabotaging habits, and automatic responses can dominate our interactions without us even noticing. By bringing these “shadows” into awareness, this exercise helps you interrupt reactive cycles and move toward a life of conscious, intentional connection. Ideal for use in moments of self-awareness—whether in a tense conversation, receiving feedback, or navigating challenges—it equips you to realign with your values, respond intentionally, and unlock your fullest potential.
