I routinely identify P2 as the “storehouse” of the rules for
relationships that children learn in the intimate “hothouse” of
childhood. These rules are often not adequate or distorted or
grossly contaminated to be used successfully as a grown-up.
Children make decisions in order to survive assaults on the 5
growth areas in childhood:
Physical
Emotional
Intellectual
Social
Spiritual
“SPOOKY” is the residence of these decisions. Decisions that
we made under emotional distress and limited, or distorted
information or ,emotional blackmail and coercion.
These children, you and me, then grow up to live with the effects
of these decisions, in their childhood and adulthood.
Sometimes the effects are benign and sometimes profound. |
