I could not agree more with you, if I had said this myself!
We all have our own issues and carry emotional baggage with us, mainly as a result of our upbringing.
Our parent's beliefs and attitudes are frequently difficult to shift in their negative effects on our own lives, so I wish you well in doing so and will offer whatever support you feel you need from me within the forum guidelines.
From my own personal experience some of my parent's ways (both of whom are now deceased) of thinking about and doing things have been a definite advantage to myself and my family in the past, and I would not want to change these at all.
The problem is often that many of the techniques used to shift negative beliefs are not particularly selective, and can at the same time potentially get rid of the decidedly positive ones which are helping us to cope. Rather like a broad spectrum antibiotic destroying all of the good bacteria as well, along with the disease causing ones.
Oh darn!
