CYCLE BREAKER
You swore it would
stop with you.
But when emotions run high, you still hear the words, feel the reactions, or repeat the patterns you promised yourself would end. Understanding where it comes from is the first step. Learning what to do next is the work. find thing o
THE DISSONANCE
You know better.
So why does it still happen?
You understand where it comes from. You may have done therapy, read the books, and listened to the podcasts. But knowing why and changing what happens in the moment are not the same thing.
I sound just like my parent.
The words come out before you can stop them—and afterward, you wonder how you became the person you promised yourself you would never be.
Why did I react that way?
The moment passes, but the guilt stays. You know the reaction was bigger than what was happening—and you want to understand why.
I don’t want my kids needing therapy because of me.
OUR METHOD
What happened then can still show up now.
What’s Actually Happening?
Notice what is happening without judgment or shame.
Take the Pause
Create space between what happens and what you choose next.
Get Curious, Then Act
Questions are information. Move from “What is wrong with me?” to “What is happening here?”
Do the Reps
Change comes from practice, not from knowing more.
The goal isn’t perfect parenting. It’s trusting yourself to handle what comes next.

The Architect
Meet the Breaker
Becky Nieves is a mom of four, parenting educator, speaker, and founder of Not In My House™ and It Stops With Me™. She helps parents who grew up in toxic and dysfunctional families understand how their past is showing up in their parenting today—so they can stop repeating what hurt them.
Her background includes psychology, advocacy, family support, nonprofit work, and school board and community leadership. Her work is practical, honest, and focused on helping parents notice sooner, pause, respond intentionally, repair when needed, and build self-trust.

As Seen In
Is this therapy?
No. Becky provides parenting education, coaching, and community support—not therapy, diagnosis, or clinical treatment. If you need mental-health treatment or support with a diagnosis, please work with a licensed professional.
What if I understand why I react, but I still lose it?
Understanding where a reaction comes from gives you context, but change comes from practice. Becky helps you notice sooner, create a pause, respond more intentionally, and repair when things do not go the way you wanted.
How long does it take to stop repeating what I learned?
There is no fixed timeline. Awareness can happen quickly, but lasting change comes from doing the reps. The goal is not to never get triggered—it is to notice sooner, recover faster, and trust yourself to choose what happens next.
