Why You Keep Repeating the Same Mistakes & How to Finally Stop |Kiara Brown LPC and Scott Rust CHT

Have you ever felt like you're living the same chapter of your life on repeat? Maybe it's the same relationship patterns, the same self-doubt, the same fears, or the same habits that keep showing up no matter how hard you try to change them. In this episode of the Lunar Counseling Podcast, I sit down with certified hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner, and self-described "Mental Mechanic" Scott Rust to explore why people get stuck in repeating patterns and how subconscious beliefs shape our lives more than we often realize. Drawing from hypnotherapy, storytelling, gaming, and personal development, Scott shares practical ways to identify what's keeping you stuck and how to begin creating lasting change. We discuss: • Why people repeat the same mistakes and patterns • Living "at cause" versus living "at effect" • The connection between subconscious beliefs and behavior • People-pleasing, burnout, and reclaiming personal power • How gaming and storytelling can help us understand ourselves • Creating your own personal "character sheet" for growth • Why mindset shifts often fail—and what actually works If you've been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready for a different way of looking at personal growth, this conversation offers practical insights and a fresh perspective.
