The easiest route for all this stuff is for our parents to have done it correctly (taking care of us) and then as we got older we started taking over what our parents taught us. If you didn't get it from your parents, now you can get it from your therapist but eventually we must take over and do it for ourselves. Our therapists are parenting us basically and then we take over and complete the parenting.....
Good insight Owl!
