How do you accept the past?

I've had many shitty things happen to me in the past and I had always thought I had accepted it - that this is how it is. But no, I haven't. I realised that all I did is acknowledge that it happened and I flat out plainly refuse to accept that it happened. I don't know how to accept it, mentally.

Just realise it happened and nothing will ever change it. Use it as a way of correcting past mistakes.

@Shaun I can and have learned much from the past. I can say move forward and I do for a time but I always drift back and I can't understand that.

Well just tell yourself it cant be changed. If you’re embarrassed by it, just think about what you’ve done to help yourself since then.

It happened, therefore you don't have a choice. But you do have a choice on how to control how you cope.

Have you considered getting into counseling

Samael

@DanielChristensen No, I don't trust counsellors.

@Samael I can understand that

I don’t know if you can until you are ready to.
