Every problematic behavior is a hidden skill that happens at the wrong place, at the wrong time or with the wrong person.
The "energy pattern" model describes four behavior archetypes that of which one is said to be aquired by a person at a young age in order to attain attention from their parents.
As a person grows up they learn additional patterns, but the initial pattern remains as a fall back strategy in stress or panic situations. Every pattern has tenedencies towards specific skills as well as challenges that can be overcome as a personality develops.
