I think I come to this a bit from a different angle. How tied you are to the Ego, will likely play a role. For example, if you’re self aware and can see your actions, even if you don’t like them, you might eventually start changing a behavior like this. As you identify more with the part of you that sees this, and doesn’t like it, the defenses will dissolve quicker and you won’t have to protect the Ego as much. Because it’s dissolving too.
