My past is holding me back from my future. How can I get my life back?

There are issues from my past that have me very heavily burdened in my heart. I've been torn for so many years and I need help so I can move on with my life.

I experienced trauma when I was 8 years old and I did come out about it until I was 40.

Now I know this is what's holding me back on my happiness. I've met a very loving and caring man but because I'm holding on to these things from my past I’m pushing him away.

I encourage you to reach out to a therapist that specializes in trauma. Processing trauma in therapy can be a difficult journey -- but we often have to process and move through the pain in order to get to the other side and move forward with our lives. I wish you the best of luck in your journey as you continue to heal.
