The converse doesn't follow. Not everyone too foolish to ask the appropria= te persons can claim it's because of a bad childhood. And not everyone who= was abused as a child hesitates to ask a T.A. for help with a school assig= nment. Rationality is a hallmark of engineering behavior. Sometimes the rational = act is to go to a person with the answers and ask your question. If you ca= n't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. > Both those activities are dangerous for the child, and the child > hardwires in avoidance. If you want to succeed in life, you cannot live as a prisoner of your past.= When a syndrome, obsession, addiction or phobia interferes with your abil= ity to function, get professional help. The good news is that you can achi= eve satisfaction and happiness even with such handicaps. I care, Roedy. =20 --=20 Lew
