A SHORT COURSE FROM TRACY HOOBYAR  /  CORE IMPACT

NEW COURSE   —   4 MODULES + BONUS   —   45 MINUTES

Breaking the

Double Bind

You don't need a clear choice.
You need to be able to make one.

Launch price this weekend only. Regular price $37.

You know the feeling.

Two things. Both real. Both mattering. Neither one wrong. And you're stuck.

Not because you can't think clearly. Not because you don't know what you value. But because there's no version of this where nothing gets sacrificed.

You've tried the pros and cons list. You've talked it through with someone you trust. You've asked yourself what your future self would want.

And you're still sitting with it.

This isn't an indecision problem.
It's a situation problem.

What you're in has a name. It's called a double bind — a situation where both options carry real cost, real value, and no clean answer.

The self-help world will tell you to get clear. But in a double bind, you already have clarity. You're clear on both sides. What's missing isn't information. What's missing is a method for moving anyway.

That's what this course teaches.

HOW I KNOW THIS

When both sides
cost you something

A few years ago I had a work trip I couldn't miss. Big annual event, important clients, a role I'd committed to and was being paid well for.

My dog wasn't doing well when I got dropped off at the airport.

I got on the plane anyway.

He declined while I was away. And then I had a second decision to make: leave the event early and come home, or stay and let my family handle it.

I ran through both options. There was no version where nothing cost me something. So I stayed. My family handled it. I came home when the event ended.

For a while I questioned whether I made the right call.

I eventually stopped. Not because I decided I was right — but because I realized right wasn't available. What was available was a decision I could stand by, evaluate honestly, and live with.

That's what I built this course to teach. Not how to find the answer. How to make a decision you can move on.

WHAT THIS COURSE IS

Breaking the Double Bind

A short, practical course. Four modules. One working method. Built for the kind of decisions that don't have a clean answer and can't wait for perfect clarity.

WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH

Five things you'll actually
have when you're done

01

A clear understanding of what a double bind actually is — and why it's not a character flaw

02

The ability to identify which pattern you run when you're stuck: the freeze, the spiral, or the decide-and-punish

03

A three-step method for making a decision you can stand by, even when both options cost you something

04

A personal decision protocol in your own words that you'll actually use next time

05

A bonus advanced module on Parts Integration for double binds that keep coming back

WHAT'S INSIDE

The four modules

1

Why you can't just decide. The double bind defined. Why it's a situation problem, not a you problem. Tracy's story opens here. Includes the first exercise: name your current double bind in two sentences.

2

How you specifically get stuck. Three patterns that keep people frozen: the freeze, the spiral, and the decide-and-punish. You'll identify which one runs you and what it's trying to protect.

3

The Double Bind Method. The actual working method. Three steps: determine your non-negotiables, future pace both options, run the values check. You'll run this on your real current double bind during the module. This is the longest module and the heart of the course.

4

Decide. Move. Adjust. How to keep the old pattern from taking back the decision you just made. How to move clean. How to adjust if you need to later, without drama. You'll write your personal decision protocol in your own words.

+

Bonus Module: The Advanced Layer. For double binds that keep returning. An introduction to Parts Integration: why recurring conflicts usually have something living underneath them, and how to find the shared intention both parts are actually reaching toward.

THE FOUNDATION

What this course is built on

The Double Bind Method is drawn from NLP — Neuro-Linguistic Programming — specifically the principles around internal conflict and parts integration. These aren't new ideas. They've been developed and refined over 40+ years of practitioner training.

What's different here is the application. Most people who've encountered this work have experienced it in a training room, held through a careful process by a skilled practitioner. What they haven't figured out is how to use it on themselves, alone, at 7am when the decision can't wait.

That's the gap this course closes.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

Who this is for
(and who it's not)

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

  • You make decisions for yourself and for other people
  • You carry responsibility that doesn't pause when life gets complicated
  • You've done the journaling, the lists, the talking it through — and you're still stuck or spiraling
  • You don't want to be rescued from hard choices. You want to move through them.

THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF

  • You're looking for someone to tell you what to choose
  • You want a formula that removes the discomfort
  • You need the answer to feel obvious before you can act

I can't give you clear. I won't promise that. What I can give you is a method that works when clear isn't coming.

QUESTIONS

A few things people ask

How long is the course?

About 45 minutes total across four modules plus the bonus. You can complete it in one sitting or move through it across a week. The course stays open to you after purchase.

Do I need any background in NLP?

No. The method is explained in plain language. If you have NLP background, the bonus module will resonate more deeply. But the main four modules work without any prior exposure.

What kind of decisions does this work for?

Any situation where both options are real, both carry real cost, and there's no version where nothing gets sacrificed. Work decisions, relationship decisions, caregiving decisions, financial decisions. If you're stuck and both sides have legitimate weight, this is for it.

What if I'm not in a double bind right now?

You will be. The average person faces several a month. Having the method before you need it is actually the better position.

Is there a refund policy?

If you complete the course and feel it didn't deliver what was promised, reach out within 7 days of purchase and I'll refund you. I want you to use this, not just own it.

You've been in a double bind this week.
You'll be in another one next week.

The only question is whether you'll have something better to work with.

Decide. Move. Adjust.
