^Good post.
And also. Let's take for instance the guilt I feel for terrible ways that I've treated my step-son (of course there's more to it... but I'll just use this because who can get worse than child abuse, right?). I've beat myself up for a really long time. Before any of this happened, I formed a conclusion about myself and this abuse was an expression of that conclusion. Going back before this act and finding out when, where, and why this conclusion was formed gives birth to a new conclusion and freedom from the old one.
Does that make sense?
