When we were babies, we didn’t smile sweetly at our mothers to get them to take care of us. We didn’t pinpoint our discomfort by putting it into words. We simply opened our mouths and screamed. And it didn’t take us long to learn that, the louder we screamed, the quicker they came. The success of this tactic was turned into an ‘imprint,’ a part of our stored memory about how to get the world to respond to our needs: ‘When you are frustrated, provoke the people around you.’
