We may think of ourselves as independent grown-ups making decisions for ourselves, acting on our own behalf but...

How much of ourselves is, in fact, a direct replication of our upbringing?

In this 2-hour discussion, we will explore this topic, sharing points of views.

**Please note, in the following the term "parent" is used to describe the significant adults/caregivers in your upbringing.**

------====== o0o ======------

Suggested questions and starting points

>> Do you have a personality trait or habit you would say is directly inherited from your parents? Like in: "I am so & so - my mom was the same".

>> Did you ever catch yourself having behaviors or repeating patterns from your upbringing although you were convinced to be acting out of your own mind?

>> Can the following be considered being under our parent's influence?

• >>> Living in their shadow


• >>> (Still) Holding a grudge


• >>> being in awe or great admiration


• >>> Clashing with family tradition

>> Can we achieve total personal independence?

That is having a mind of our own based solely on our personal experience and reasoning, clear of previous influence?
