CREATED BY A LICENSED THERAPIST
A step-by-step program designed to equip you with a comprehensive understanding of your unique patterns and triggers.
Most self-help advice focuses on coping skills, but coping isn’t the same as healing.
If you want lasting change, you have to understand the root causes behind your reactions: the survival patterns your nervous system learned years ago.
That’s exactly what the Root Cause Roadmap walks you through. You’ll get step-by-step guidance and structured exercises that help you map your patterns and build new responses that actually stick.
The same tools I use every day in trauma-focused therapy — brought together in one clear, supportive path.
Understand Your Survival Pattern
Every nervous system develops automatic patterns to protect you — adaptive survival strategies that helped you cope.
We break these into four core patterns:
Understanding your pattern gives you clarity about why you get triggered, what your nervous system thinks it’s protecting you from, and where your next step in healing truly begins.
For less than a therapy session, get the tools to understand your patterns, gain clarity, and respond differently to stress and triggers.
(Psst: The average therapy client spends an average of $3,900+ in sessions per year.)
I get it — you’ve tried programs or worksheets before, and sometimes they just don’t stick.
The Root Cause Roadmap guides you step by step to understand your survival patterns, notice your nervous system in action, and practice in a way that fits your life.
It’s not about quick fixes — it’s about gaining clarity for your patterns so you can respond with intention instead of feeling stuck.
And the best part? You can work at your own pace, knowing it’s built to meet you exactly where you are.

“I thought I was too overwhelmed and too behind to start anything new—but this process finally made healing feel doable.”
I’M SYDNEY STROTHER.
I’ve spent years helping high-functioning women, cycle-breakers, and deep feelers understand their patterns and finally create change that lasts.
I’ve taken the same tools and guidance I use with therapy clients and packaged them for you — so you can understand the root of your patterns, make lasting progress, and feel supported, all for less than one session.
I’ve spent years helping clients heal, and I created the Root Cause Roadmap to make that work more accessible, affordable, and doable for everyone.
It feels like I finally have a map instead of just wandering around hoping something works.
Emily R.
I used to shut down or people-please without even realizing it. Now I notice it happening in real time and feel like I actually have options.
Chloe B.
This didn’t feel overwhelming or clinical. It felt like someone gently walking beside me and helping me understand myself. I never felt judged — just supported.
Ava S.
I was nervous it would feel like another program telling me to ‘fix myself.’ Instead, it helped me have more compassion for myself. That made change feel possible.
