I really dont think "doing the opposite" = breaking the cycle. Breaking the cycle means being neutral and unaffected by past traumas, whereas "doing the opposite" is actually focusing on the traumas and becoming dogmatic as a result. "The opposite" of a bad parenting practice isnt nevessarily a good parenting practice, because you can end up going too far to the other end of spectrum which can be just as bad
Forgetting where you left your keys does not mean you are “losing it”
