No, this happens when you accept that you are a victim and declare that you have zero control over your emotional shortcomings because of a past event. And it will continue to happen aslong as you reinforce this in yourself.

You have no clue how this works and you clearly didn't read the article.

It's not about identifying yourself as the victim etc., it's about identifying patterns that you're not even aware of.

My comment was now in retrospect - I didn't even at the time consider my childhood to be especially bad until after therapy.

This post is riddled with misunderstanding and you have provided a classic example.
