How many times will it take for a person to be told they have done good?

Compared to the amount of times they were told they were worthless for it to take hold they are good?

It takes about 5 good events to overcome the psychological effects of one bad. Now add that for every time somebody has been told or felt worthless. If it's been a lot it will take way more good to erase the damage.
