What a concept? I found this article interesting. Mostly because it has a lot to do with the self. There are a lot to gain from reading this article if you struggle with a parent. The takeaway i found most interesting was this excerpt:

“[O]ne of the tasks of healthy development, whether or not one chooses to eliminate or limit contact with a mother in the real world, is to deal with the mother inside of ourselves. This means that we have to learn not to treat ourselves as we were treated by our mothers, and also not to choose partners who are like our mothers. (Often, despite our best intentions, we repeat that pattern.)”

Such an incredible insight in destructive views of self that I feel is helpful in building our awareness to stop any patterned behaviours.
