Extinction-suppression-confusion anti-pattern: confusing
Extinction-suppression-confusion anti-pattern: confusing behavioral extinction (removing the reinforcement that sustains a behavior) with suppression (using willpower to override it), leading to exhausting suppression campaigns that never eliminate the underlying habit loop
Why This Is an Anti-Pattern
Inverts willpower-as-depleting-battery (Willpower-as-depleting-battery pattern: the structural). Violates Habits as Context-Response Associations (habit loop mechanics). Recurs in addiction willpower approaches, diet restriction, anger management.
