It is created by old safety strategies that helped us survive our childhood traumas, but then got stuck in our bodies. Reinforced by trauma and habit, they continue to shape our actions and personality even today. They have become an invisible prison. We live our lives trapped in that prison, repeating the same mistakes over and over again.As we attempt to understand the psychology of success and become successful ourselves, studying the habits of successful people is not enough.
