Letting go of the past

    I'm struggling to let go the effect of an emotionally and physically abusive childhood. Nearly 20 years later I still have nightmares and suffer anxiety. There are some triggers that bring me straight back but apart from these events I lock it up into the dark recesses of my mind :-)

    Any advised of how to let go of the past ?

    have you had counselling?

    If so, how long were you there?

    No, I haven't, but maybe that's a step I need to take. I feel that this has taken over my life for far too long.

    Yes I would strongly suggest it - There is a service called the national counselling service. It is run by HSE and is for people who suffered abuse (any form) and neglect in childhood. The details are on google - there is often a waiting list but it is worth it to get a quality counsellor who has experience in this area.
