Please let me state that one must (and needs) to go over their wounded past in order to HEAL - if left alone the feelings will NEVER die.... they will forever be present in you until they are dealt with, felt, and then buried.
I had to go through 6 straight years of counseling (inpatient & out patient) and then 2 years of off and on counseling as I needed - to get to my point of healing..... and YES it was h*ll at times and I hated having to feel the past all over again, but I realized that it was needed in order for me to heal inside and to be normal again.
