I've done some trauma processing, but my t had us move on fairly quickly. He is of the belief that going over and over the trauma generally is retraumatizing. Instead, we work on the present, referencing the past as it applies to what is going on in the here and now. For me, what is important is that I recognize how old messages I learned in the past still affect me today and that I learn how to counter those old messages so I don't keep falling into the same old holes of belief.
