Having consequences of your past that you need to deal with to me is not the same as having to deal with the original wound your whole life.

My mom's abuse led to my eating disorder.
My eating disorder led to such destruction of my teeth that I needed all my teeth pulled and my mouth reconstructed with implants etc surgically. That process took several years.

I'll be paying off the expense for years.

That is an unchangeable thing, a consequence.

The fact that that is unchangeable does mean therapy can't cure my eating disorder or heal the damage the original abuse created. Thus preventing FUTURE negative consequences from my past.

So I can't undo the choices I've made but I sure as hell can learn and heal so I make better choices in the future
