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.
