I want to acknowledge your openness and seeking.
What I hear from your summary is a connection to your childhood and your relationship to self, so perhaps these energies run quite deeply, or these energies (actions, thoughts, feelings) have been with you for many years. With your awareness of this, you have probably done some searching/discovering of these connections.
Since I know little about the topic itself, I speak more broadly about shadow work. Self-love, slowly releasing judgment and balancing energies come to mind: holding and magnifying the energy that is 'less-than-desirable', and then balancing it by magnifying the opposite or complementary energy. When I balance complicated or big things, it takes me a while to peel back layer after layer, discovering more and more as I dig.
There are opportunities for self-judgment or criticism. I also find there is a place for love and gratitude/acceptance. I often find an understanding of what I've done: I grow to understand the why. And from that, there grows a sense of gratitude for the opportunity to look closely at self/other.
