Re: Histories demons
Dear Purezzaa,
I am so glad you reached out to the forums - you will find many friendly and supportive people here. What a horrible story of abuse you have to tell. I am glad that you are currently with a partner who respects you and treats you well. So many things from our past can come back to haunt us. We think we have got over them, but then they stir up again in our memories and these affect us in the present.
The best way to get on top of past trauma is through talk therapy. By seeing a counsellor, a psychologist or therapist. It will take time to talk through your story, but you will find it such a relief to get those memories off your back. I speak from personal experience. I am still in counselling, and I feel as if I am slowly putting my life together and finding the"real me". I can look forward to the future with a positive outlook. Your GP can put you in touch with an appropriate person.
Do this for yourself - you have such a big life in front of you, make it a happy one.
Best wishes
Ellu
