On guilt (the first trap)

By Steve Hauptman

1. I am a child to whom bad things have happened.

2. These bad things made me feel helpless.

3. Since helplessness is scary, I look for another explanation.

4. I decide I somehow caused the bad things that happened.

5. Now I am a child who deserved the bad things that happened.

6. I grow into a guilty adult who deserves bad things.
