It is natural to have trauma from things that we have experienced but what I have come to realize from personal experience and stories of others is that we tend to hold on to that trauma and hurt instead of trying to let go. Why is that? I believe that a lot of us don’t even recognize that it’s a problem that we are facing or if we do notice it we just try to push it to the side because the experience hurt us and damaged us so badly to the core that we just want to forget it even happened whatever that experience may have been. One of my traumas is losing my dad it’s been two and a half years and I’m still wallowing in grief and depression. Some days are good and some are bad. I believe it’s important to face these things head-on no matter how much it hurts because holding on to them is hindering us more than helping us. Talking to someone whether it’s a friend or a therapist or finding different outlets, writing, music whatever tickles your fancy is important to try to let go of trauma you can pass on trauma to your kids or you can hinder your growth in relationships, career and all by holding on. It is not easy by far but holding on to it is unhealthy these things that happened to us we can’t change but we can come to terms and acceptance and learn to move on positively.
