Interesting read, but you would think that resolving some of that past trauma that was hidden would allow you to transition into a state that isn't your old "normal", but a nice halfway between your arrogant 10x present self and your old self chained by trauma.
Perhaps this experience when bundled with a professional could have great impacts that are permanent, as long as you don't start fighting the therapist I suppose! The opposite could also happen, I don't know. Would be interesting to see studies on this.
