Toxic Socialization
Toxic Socialization[1] is a socialization process that damages the Physical Unit, undermines human potential, and disables the body's ability to Connect and contain higher levels of Consciousness. Toxic socialization is characterized by violence and Abuse, neglect of needs, chaos in the home environment, Destruction of Attachments (including Parental Displacement) and Indoctrination.

Most important, toxic socialization disconnects. "The most important obstacle to that kind of openness is a history of traumatic experiences that lead to emotional and physical blockages, a kind of Reichian armoring that separates us from the rest of the world." (Lazslo, Groff, Russell, 1999: 98). The question is, how to "free ourselves" from the blockages. How to open up. To do so we must Heal and reConnect.
Toxic socialization is required by The System, important for System Maintainence, actuated through indoctrination of an Old Energy Creation Template, and supported by Intergenerational Toxicity (a.k.a. toxic "traditions")
