I suspect that the imprinting you are talking about happens well before adolescence, likely in the child before the age of seven. It won't manifest until much later, but it's there all right, a nice little present from the family. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, s3raphita@... wrote :

Re stress and trauma: Doubtless the usual cause of psychological problems is because of inappropriate conditioned behaviour. But I wonder if in the case of sexual issues that imprinting isn't more significant. What's that then? Imprinting is a learning pattern which occurs at a particular
