Why We Hold Onto The Past
Many of us get stuck in the past because of our need for certainty. Letting go of the past also means stepping into the unknown future. It means having the courage to let go of what is familiar – even if it’s negative – and being vulnerable enough to embrace and learn from what’s ahead. It’s normal to fear the unknown but we don’t want to get stuck.
If I hold on to the painful experience, I can keep it from happening again. You’re barely functioning with the horrific experience burned into your mind. It’d be unbearable to do it all over again. So, you put immense pressure on your shoulders to be extravigilant: I could never forgive myself if it happened again.
