I would say these 'templates' exist at a level external to the self. So those templates are a common heritage.
But just because something is 'common', doesn't mean it's able to be integrated.
side tangent - think of something like food allergies. What is considered to be 'food' for a large portion of the population is experienced as allergy and inflammation reactions when someone with that allergy tries to consume it. Ra pinpoints such a 'rejection reaction' to a non-acceptance of the environment.
Invalidation, here, is a kind of very intense non-integratability.
