Early childhood states are restorative, because the young child has a huge capacity for adaption and for receiving new information about the world. The problem is when our early receptivity compels us to adapt to a view of the world that is narrowed by the behavior of our authority figures. In my case, my father was too angry and aggressive and laid down the law arbitrarily. In the case of those who perceive they may be narcissistic, mothers who were controlling and tried to live their lives through their children seem to have had a deleterious effect.
Reversion to a state of early childhood experience -- regression therapy -- can be a cure for deformities generated by the past.
The way out of fixating on the past is not to "realize you are nothing", which smacks of religious condemnation, but to become spirit, air, or ethereal matter, gazing upon the remnants of the past, whilst enjoying everything in a non-human way, as a divine spectacle put on for your edification.
