Assuming that there's no child story.

The strongest child story is to assume that there is no child story.

The biggest resistance is to assume that there is no resistance.

We can’t work on a problem we are not willing to accept we have.

…and all the while you, like everyone else, take pride in being the master of your destiny. (The inner kids are having a good chuckle at that one.) Almost everyone, when confronted with some unpleasant piece of behavior he has performed that disturbs his sense of control, finds a way of justifying it, often by foisting the blame somewhere else.”
