my experience, the greatest challenge is identifying, working with and changing the programming created by very dysfunctional parents. The compensations I took on as a child were necessary for my survival. But in my adulthood, they're still keeping me from being my authentic self. The survival identity takes on a life of its own, and does everything it can to keep from being extinguished. The challenges are constant. The
biggest problem in surmounting the survival identity, is how to do that in a world which so constantly
promotes dysfunction. It's like trying to wash your car while it's raining mud.
