I love the phrase "narrate my assumptions". Very on point.
And yeah, it does take the right combination of people to get this kind of work done. My first real therapist was fond of saying that she was not a Freudian, but that when people go into a situation or face a challenge they often only have the "how my parents did it" model to draw on. Thus, they (we) attempt to recapitulate those behaviors because we don't know what else to do.
Remember our long-ago conversations about how "nobody taught us to be adults"?
