RISK & DIAGNOSIS
Collision Pattern
A Collision Pattern is the specific behavior loop produced by an Identity Collision in a real-life domain (career, marriage, parenting, money).
Definition
An Identity Collision is the underlying mechanism. A Collision Pattern is how it shows up in the wild. Past Prison shows up as imposter syndrome at work and emotional unavailability at home. Success Sabotage shows up as procrastination on launches and conflict with partners pre-breakthrough.
Why this matters
You fix patterns in their domain, not in the abstract. Naming the pattern gives you a place to intervene.
