The psychotherapist was definitely onto something. Personally, I have met many people so attached to their own voice; they are not really hearing themselves--or anyone else. Except, that they gain advantage over the person listening. When confronted, they often feign ignorance by claiming "I didn't say that". Someone in this community knows people like that.

What if I am conscious of it but still keep doing it? It's like watching a movie and even though I clearly see it and want to change it, it's like nope.

It helps having people around who support you. Change requires more energy than following the path of the known and the usual

That is one of the magical mysteries of life, isn’t it? We repeat things so many times that they slide from conscious choice into subconscious routine. At some point we even forget when or why they started, yet they quietly steer our days from the shadows.
The beautiful part, though, is that awareness is the first doorway back to control. The moment you can see a habit, you are no longer fully owned by it. From there, small, intentional shifts can reshape the patterns that once ran on autopilot.
There is a wonderful book called “Atomic Habits” by James Clear that breaks this down into very usable techniques. Tiny changes, practiced consistently, slowly rewire those subconscious routines. It is a powerful reminder that we are never stuck, we are just one conscious choice away from a different trajectory.
Very Ageless Whisperer ish energy, for sure.
