Does "often to our detriment and to that of people whom we care about" mean "often to our detriment and to the detriment of people whom we care about"?
Context:
Since these imperatives are such frequent intruders into our consciousness and play so important a role in shaping our emotions and behavior - often to our detriment and to that of people whom we care about.
@oristarA,
Yep. Exactly right, oristar.
