Can we ever regain our original personalities?

Can we regain our original thought patterns, untouched by a group of strangers who did not seem to really care about us as individuals, neither our creativity or true sense of humanity? Does anyone know of any books or therapists who can help us truly claim who we were before we met this group of total strangers and they fed us the lies of "meant to be"? I am more interested in that than the specifics of who these strangers were. We already know of who they were. Theu made that clear when they told and retold thir own stories to us, while e sat and listened like the young man in the "Bingo"m play.

It is truly a bizarre feeling to think that these strangers interfered in our lives and family circles. Please. I need help with this because I am still young enough to not want to live a life where these group of total strangers have infected my thoughts, my dreams, my joy, my pain, and all that makes me up as a human being. Thanks :question: .

Sorry, what's done is done. Short of some total amnesia inducing traumatic event, I can't imagine how anyone can undo the influence that the people in our lives have had on us.

But you can do what you want to with the experience. You don't have to respond in some predictable way or in a way that the Program intended. You can turn it around entirely to work against their objectives.

you are at least in part, my friend, the sum total of your life experiences. You simply cannot erase what happened to you.
You can however strive to understand and change the negatives. This is within your control.

My question is different. I do not mena totally forget. I mean regain our original personalities and peeling through the layers of "brainwashed thoughts." Is this possible?

Well sure. Most people snap out of it either gradually or suddenly. You don't stay under the deception forever. But, as with any of life's experiences, you learned things that have to impact the way you view the world. For example, I learned that my dad could become convinced by some slippery little con man that I had been carrying on a secret double life as a violence prone coke head. I could have done without knowing that for a few years longer. I envy people who never have to find out that they can, under some circumstances, lose their parents protection.

Dad and I talked this stuff through a long time ago and repaired our relationship very well, thank you. We both learned something from it. I'll never forget some of the things I learned in the Program about parent child relationships and I'll never regain that total trust nor will I ever expect it from my kids. I'll always have to check myself and be very careful w/ these very fragile and vitally important relationships in my life. I'll never take them for granted like I did as a kid or as my parents did.

So, it was a bad thing that happened. A really devastating thing, really painful, really scaring. But, not only did I get over it pretty quickly, I got something of value out of it.

No, I'll never be who I would have been had things been different. But I do own my life again.

Is that what you're asking?
