There are many forms of psychotherapeutic intervention to help people move on in their lives and some of those say that there is absolutely no reason to find out why you feel the way you do, there is no need to address the cause, just focus on now and cope. I totally disagree. I am a great believer, I see it every week with my clients, with addressing the cause rather than just coping and therefore releasing any negative thoughts or feelings connected with the past.
Time is not a great healer, it just buries all the emotional garbage and events that you don’t want to face. Sometimes the emotions resurface many years after the original event occurred.
This Daily Mail article is about a woman who buried / carried emotions for 33 years before letting them go.
It’s OK to grieve, it’s OK to be emotional and my belief is that only when you acknowledge the past can you truly move on. This is where my expertise helps many people. What would you rather do, spend your life coping or just move on?
Be happy,
Dave.
