I'm new to this too. Alot of this rings true. I'd like to understand more about the dynamic of inner passivity. I've ordered the book Phantom of The Psyche.
I'd like to feel more self confident and not got back to an old default position.
i like what he said: "Self -discovery is our redemption, our release from old shame.
Like an inner martial-art skill they acquired the mastery to banish the inner critic."

After I fully study this I want to read his book about co-dependency.
I learned this from an early age.
I want to take another look at this.

I'm glad you found this interesting too.
