Yeah. OGSF felt a bit excessive to me too. Not just because of age either... His problems seem to be partly fear for fear alone, but mostly seem centered on his own self worth. ASC should bust that right open all by itself. If not, ESE should finish off the leavings. OF, but not OGSF, might be useful to run alongside as a companion/secondary.
Even as an adult, SOME sense of guilt and shame can still be useful to a person as long as it's not excessive, and he definitely doesn't seem to have excessive guilt or shame. Mostly just poor self worth... I can see how the two can easily get conflated and appear to be the other, but they're really distinctly different problems. Poor self worth often LEADS to excessive guilt and or shame, as one gets older and the problem isn't addressed.
