IMHO, you've already completed the first two huge requirements: (1) Understand you have this problem, and (2) see how it stems from lessons learned in your childhood. Where to go from there? I should write a testimony on my experiences. I'm 45 now. At this age, it's painfully obvious when I fall back into a negative pattern arising from childhood. I fall into such patterns less often than before, and to a lesser degree when I do. I'm slowly retraining my brain. Still, I do still fall into it sometimes. I wish I could just switch off the childhood reactions completely. But if that's possible, I haven't yet found the switch. Good luck with your battle. Just the way you asked the question tells me you're on your way.

to Nutrition1: Hmm. Another feature I need to add: "Change my testimony into a question (or vis versa)". Seems easy enough.
I guess this should be under Questions rather than Testimonials
