Pattern Breakers is intended to offer people a way to manage their life and a career in customer service. It's a guidebook on how to understand our clients and ourselves better. This book is written directly to cosmetologists. Although, the same principles can be applied to all people within the service industry—tattoo artists, estheticians, massage therapists, nail technicians, bartenders, dentists, doctors, nurses, the list is endless. If you're a person who provides a service, and works one-on-one with individuals in a close environment, this book is written for you. It will assist you in creating healthy patterns and maintaining boundaries in the workplace and beyond. This book is sectioned out to help you understand yourself before you try to understand your clients. It is not to be powered through in an afternoon. You'll want to reference back as you practice the concepts expressed. It is a workbook that you'll want to revisit many times over.
You're invited to begin a journey of self-exploration, exploring techniques for building a stable foundation of self-care. It begins with recognizing and understanding your patterns, establishing healthy boundaries, and cultivating a practice of empathy. As you build upon this foundation, you will find opportunities to achieve, acquire and cultivate what you desire in life and in your career.
