Why do we keep re-running old traumas
and emotional wounds?
What might our purpose be in clinging to
these personal historical events and feelings?
Some seem to believe that by maintaining
and embracing these old injuries we actually protect ourselves from reoccurrences.
In actuality, it seems that clinging onto
the past in this way might make us even more susceptible to similar conduct in
the present…

Make a list of the old
personal 'injuries' and traumas that you are holding onto.
This should be pretty easy

the events.
Okay, now the interesting
part.
Ask yourself what you get
by holding on to these grievances?
We are not talking about scolding
yourself!
We are actually looking
for the perceived value that might be causing you to maintain this memory in an
active form that is easily tapped into in the present!
Sometimes by realizing
that this is not really useful we automatically remove some of the 'charge'
that this memory has held for us…
