I've just recently discovered that you can't. The longer you hide from it, the worse it gets. It can manifest physically, cause pain and nausea, cause nerve and brain damage, insomnia, nightmares...

I'm trying therapy for the millionth time, but I'm committed. I'm going to try EMDR soon.

I believe in the healing process.

You don't. You just try to heal and move on and live life as best you can. I say this as someone who's in a relationship with a man who has a very painful past and still deals with the trauma from it today.

I'm still trying to figure that out. Therapy, meds and support from family and friends

I don't think you can. I think the best you can do is let your inner strength channel that pain into resolve for a better future.

You don't forget, the best you can do is try to learn to not let it destroy your future.

Depends on the nature of the pain, but I would suggest overwhelming it with positive experiences

You start to rebuild something so you can look forward to the future.

You don't forget it, you just look at it and shrug, think "meh" and it doesn't bother you as much as it used to.

To remove one thing from mind, you need to have something in it's place. Focus on present.

Continue writing a better future

Just allow time to pass — and revenge can be satisfying

Get rid or hide anything that reminds you of it

Make yourself a bright future, the rest of your life is in your hands.
