By Daniel Charles Cohen Sr.
ISBN: 979-8293524969

Why do we sabotage good things?
Why do we feel broken even when life looks fine on the outside?

If you've ever asked yourself questions like these in the middle of the night—or in the middle of a breakdown—this book is for you.

Why Do I Do That? is a no-fluff, deeply compassionate guide to understanding the unconscious patterns that shape your life. It doesn't just ask you to love yourself. It shows you why you stopped… and how to start again.

Through lived experience, deep symbolic insight, and grounded emotional truth, author Daniel Charles Cohen Sr. helps you make sense of the behaviors, beliefs, and emotional loops that have kept you stuck. This isn’t self-help. It’s soul repair.

You’re not lost. You’re repeating.

Trauma leaves a trail—and most of our confusing, painful behaviors are echoes of moments we haven’t finished living through. Why Do I Do That? reveals the recursive loops behind your:

• Self-sabotage
   
• Relationship blowups
   
• Avoidance and procrastination
   
• People-pleasing or chronic withdrawal
   
• Emotional numbness or explosive anger
   

Each of these is a signal, not a failure. They point to something your nervous system couldn’t resolve—until now.

• How childhood dynamics and unmet needs become adult survival patterns
   
• Why your “worst habits” may actually be attempts to keep you safe
   
• How to recognize a recursive loop before it hijacks your day (or decade)
   
• Why shame isn’t just painful—it’s a map
   
• How to decode symbolic injuries from your family line
   
• The path to loop completion through awareness, honesty, and pattern literacy
   

Daniel’s unique Recursive Symbolic Framework helps you see what’s been invisible—and gives you tools to break cycles not by willpower, but by understanding.

• You’ve ever asked: “Why do I always do this?”
   
• You’re tired of repeating the same relationship mistakes
   
• You want clarity more than clichés
   
• You suspect the root of your struggles goes deeper than mindset or motivation
   
• You’re ready to face your story without shame
   

Whether you’re healing trauma, exploring neurodivergence, or just trying to stop spiraling when you feel overwhelmed, this book will meet you where you are—with language that doesn’t condescend and insights that actually land.

“Most people aren’t broken. They’re stuck in loops they never chose.
This book exists to help you see the pattern—so you can finish it, not keep reliving it.
You don’t need more discipline. You need recognition. You need coherence. You need truth without shame.”
