Behind every one of our dissociations lurk our unmet needs from childhood.

Behind every one of our dissociations lurk our unmet needs from childhood. We who have failed to get our childhood needs met shunt these still-living needs into unhealthy and dissociative behaviour patterns. We who have had our basic childhood needs met do not overindulge in chemical substances, food, unhealthy relationships, sex, or inappropriate work or fantasy—because we love ourselves and resolve our present needs through healthy, conscious avenues. Addictions are unconscious—and we who have grieved our losses do not need to play out these unconscious patterns.
