[quote=Anonymous]While I can understand how childhood trauma carries over into adult life, I have to question why you are focusing so much time, emotion, attention and energy on past events. You’re wasting your current quality of life, blowing away the time and opportunity mulling over your past. This past is done, you can’t change it. You can instead reassure yourself that this part of your life is over and work on positive activities, building in enjoyment and satisfaction to your daily life. The more you deeply delve into the past, the more angry and resentful you are getting and that spills over into your relationships with others - you’re destroying your current life and relationships with this toxic way of thinking. Just stop it - stop spending this time and money trying to fix something you can’t fix. Instead use your energy and thoughts to focus on good things. Picture, plan and build what you would consider an ideal life now. Spend time with people you enjoy. Stop interacting with those you don’t enjoy, including any family who don’t fit into your vision of having a good life now. [/quote]
