Summary
Audiobook Exclusive: Ten Guided Meditations and Contemplations.
You promised yourself this time would be different. But then . . .
. . . another argument with your parents escalates.
. . . another romantic relationship swallows up your sense of self.
. . . another good thing in your life gets sabotaged.
And you’re left thinking, Not this again.
But here’s the truth: It’s not your fault. You don’t need to feel ashamed or sorry. These patterns began as your nervous system’s strategy to protect you. And now is the moment to make sure these mechanisms address your wants and needs, not just your fears.
Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist Nadia Addesi draws on her clinical expertise to offer science-backed tools and practical exercises to help you:
- Identify repeating patterns like self-sabotage and people-pleasing
- Regulate your nervous system so you can respond thoughtfully rather than on autopilot
- Feel your emotions without becoming overwhelmed or trapped in shame
- Rewire your brain to replace old survival strategies with healthier responses
Instead of asking, Why do I keep doing this?, declare, I am going to stop letting my past decide how I live now.

Not This Again makes the connection between the nervous system and our everyday reactions easier to understand. Nadia Addesi offers practical guidance for recognizing the patterns we repeat and learning to respond differently. A valuable resource for anyone who feels frustrated by their own behavior and needs help knowing where to begin. - Jessa White, LMHC, author of Liked
It can be deeply frustrating to understand yourself and yet keep reacting in ways you wish you could change. Nadia Addesi takes that experience seriously.
