This evening my mom and aunt Jacs spoke about their childhood while we were all sitting around the braai. They told us of memories from when they were 6 years old, some of which were incredibly dark.

Here we are, almost 50 years later and these memories still linger. And they still affect us.

Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis looks deeply into our childhoods as a source of much of our worries and behaviours. We’re shaped by them, by forces that were very much outside our control.

And sometimes they make us stronger. But sometimes we might spend a lifetime healing from them.
