I was thinking about lambs and sheep this morning - stick with this, it does become relevant.......................I think

When I see a sheep or lamb, at market, in the field etc.. they have a look in their eye of terror (think lamb chops and liver and I csan understand their concern). Their whole being seems to be full of tension, ready to flee.

However lambs / sheep that are orphaned and raised by humans, to me look so different. Their eye is more trusting, they are more relaxed, they seem to "get" us humans.

So I am now wondering if there is a critical point in life for humans to learn trust and if that doesn't happen, there is no chance of ever being different - (maybe this is Bowlby attachement theory here?)

Yes we can gain insight into why it may be difficult to trust and understand ourselves better, but does that wanting to flee ever go away, if trust hasn't been learned / experienced early on in life as babies?

Is it a fruitless task with T's to try and change?
