Health,
First of all, thank you very much for sharing what the Mashgiach said.
Second of all, it doesn’t contradict what I wrote. The fact that he doesn’t think that one should study Freudian psychology in college doesn’t mean that it’s impossible that there could be a random statement or two that Freud made that happen to be true.
In any case, I don’t think I got that idea from Freud. I think that I actually got it from the Torah. The idea that early influences are very strong is very much a Torah-based concept. If you want, when I have a chance, I will try to come up with and post some examples, b”n.
