The less you want to talk about the past, often the more it needs to be talked about. Look at it this way: if you had an infection on your arm causing a fever, would it make sense to take some Tylenol to make the fever go away when it's the infection causing the illness? No, of course not. It will just come back, probably worse, when the Tylenol wears off. It's the same in therapy. Whether you want to believe it or not, our past affects us greatly. And it can cause anxiety, depression, and a whole host of other problems. Treating those problems doesn't solve the cause because it's got to do with something deeper than those problems. Just some food for thought for you.
