Self-esteem versus Self-acceptance A common misconception is that the assessment of a person’s competence and ability is equivalent to a value judgement of the worth of the actual person. Any selfesteem that results from such an identification is a house built of cards that may instantly collapse, when the next action is judged as wrong, incompetent or stupid, and the person therefore as ‘less worthy’. A more logical, realistic and beneficial approach to the individual is an unconditional Transforming the Mind Chapter Two: Background Psychology 38 acceptance of the core Self.

Other impressions of the time (fashions, morals and fetishes) tend to define that person as a member of that ‘generation’. Just as bio-survival anxiety or security are imprinted by accidents in the nursing period, emotional domination and submission by accidents in the toddling period, and symbolic dexterity or ‘stupidity’ by the accidents of the learning period, so are the choices of heterosexuality or homosexuality, promiscuity or sexual timidity, etc.

Just because you were once strongly affected by something does not mean that you must continue the behaviour patterns you formed to cope with the original situation. Those old patterns and ways of responding are just decisions made and dramatised so many times that they have become automatic. You can identify those old decisions, solutions that seemed valid at the time, and start changing Transforming the Mind Chapter Two: Background Psychology 40 them right now.
