I thought I posted this before on here but I can' find the post, so here it is again.

This is what I came up with in therapy in terms of the past coming up. She said it's ok that it does, because i'm not getting stuck. I have a choice now with how much emotion and mental energy I want to put into this, in tersm of memories... I will have to put some in to keep myself in the present, that's energy well spent. Reminding myself that I have a choice now...and when these memories resurface and I can't get out because my mood is down, I ask myself one question. Do I really what to do it? Do I really want to be there? And the answer is always no I don't want to be there. She told me to close it off, not block it away, because if I block it the memory will keep coming back.

She said another step I could do is forgive... not to forgive for what they did, but be able to do that. <--- even though haven't talked about it again.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
