Ok so I know now that majority of my issues are because of what I have grown up with. Anxiety, depression and such. I love my mom but I feel as though she is the cause. I have never really talked to my T about this except briefly in conversation. I am afraid to disclose because of anger and getting upset to the point of crying. [which I haven't done in front of her] I feel as though if I just discuss what influences my mom had on me I would be able to move on and grow. I also feel that I should just forget about it as it is the past and you aren't able to change what happened, just better myself and move on. Any thought in this would greatly help..

Disclosing and crying may be best in the long run.

I think talking about it will help, and feeling the emotion you have around it.

In my experience, in order to move on, you have to get it out of your system. Talking, feeling, getting angry and crying probably is the best way to do that.

It worked for me. It wasn't easy, but it was all worth it.

I'm still going through it. After 2.5 years. Be prepared for a can of worms and a heap of anger

I always think it needs to be put into perspective, the past.
If we're telling ourselves that we should just move on. That's a sure sign the past still has a hold.
