What a mouthful way of looking at self, development and script.  However, script is often a mouthful and a mindful.  It is not all negative and we are doomed by our scripts.  They can hold a lot of beneficial qualities in human preservation, joy and fun and love.  However, in addiction script can really hold power in relapse by its sheer forcefulness because of early attachment needs.  The last part of the soup that may make sense with this relates to defenses.  It holds irony that we as humans are so clever at constructing these and they helped our survival.  However, they can be something that as adults that don’t help us in relationships or intimacy or looking after the self.  They often operate automatically to keep the script in place. There are so many defenses that we can use from not being authentic and real, not being close, intellectualisation, displacement of feelings, acting out our pain by using,  taking internal crisis out on others, trying to be right all the times, opinionated and cruel.  etc etc etc.  The list is endless and it operates automatically and compulsively to keep us safe .  When what the human being really needs, is to be authentic and real, loved, cherished and belong.
