Strong suits are ways of acting or identities we developed while meeting earlier challenges. They may have served us well: being independent, agreeable, decisive, careful, or always prepared can help us cope.

A response learned for one situation can become limiting when it follows us into every situation. The inquiry is whether a former strength still serves the present, or whether we are relying on it because it is familiar.
