Hi Might,
You are right, you have to face your past, your fears, your trauma in order to get through it. there is no going around it, or leaving it behind. You can't just stuff everything, because it will bite you in the arse later. That's why most of us use booze, self harm, drugs, and the like, it has helped us to stuff and try to forget everything.
Is it possible that your CPN was actually telling you that you would be working on the future, and present, as in coping skills??? Ways to deal with the crap that you are going through with symptoms????
I just can't see a trained CPN or anyone telling you to just forget the past. Sounds actually like it would hurt more than help. JMO!!!! |
