Legacy healing strategist and founder of Shaping Freedom, Lisane Basquiat, introduces a new workshop examining how inherited patterns shape our reactions.

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- While millions struggle to change their behaviors through sheer willpower, legacy-healing strategist Lisane Basquiat argues that the "habit" is often a decades-old inheritance. In her new live workshop, Your Past Is Your Present, Basquiat examines how patterns learned in childhood continue to dictate adult reactions — from emotional shutdowns to overfunctioning under stress.

Basquiat, a board-certified legacy-healing strategist, will conduct the two-hour intensive virtual session on March 1 at 4 p.m. Pacific. The workshop is designed to help participants identify the inherited patterns driving their reactions. The workshop cost is $109. Register HERE.

Basquiat helps participants move beyond the shame of "bad habits." "When you snap at your partner or shut down in conflict, you think it's a personal failing. But those reactions didn't start with you - they were inherited," said Basquiat, who is also the creator of the Shaping Freedom methodology. "When you say 'Yes' when you mean 'No,' you aren't failing—you are repeating a pattern that once served a purpose in your family system. This workshop teaches you to see those patterns for the first time."

The 2-Hour "Your Past Is Your Present" Workshop

The two-hour format allows for deeper recognition and a systematic walk-through of the Legacy Pattern Model. Participants will:

Discover how patterns form early and shape present-day responses.
Identify what gets modeled in families and how survival strategies form.
Distinguish what belongs to the "now" from what is being carried forward from the past.
Receive professional guidance on integration, self-care, and interrupting cycles.

"You cannot optimize a system you don't understand," says Basquiat. "This session provides the blueprints for the internal systems we carry so we can finally choose a different path."
