Childhood deconditioning
We start building up our ego structure as soon as we realize we are not the same person as our mother. Unconsciously we absorb our parent’s behaviour patterns and their value system. It also seems inevitable that we get damaged during our childhood. The painful thing is how much our childhood conditioning, continues to affect our adult lives through thoughts, emotions and actions. Relationships with ourself and with others will be muddled until the pain from our childhood is resolved.
