I was reading the article How Not Letting Go of Your Past can Hurt Your Future today...I was sexually abused as a child. Somthing that I've exposed to my therapist and family. They are supportive of me in my quest for finding freedom. Often times I feel hooked by the past and stuck by overwhelming feelings of sadness, guilt and remorse. I want freedom, from all of this. However the memories from the past are all to often painful, and overshadow my progress into a greater sense of being. I want to let go so badly and live my life to the fullest. I can't seem to get over the hump. I want to recover. What can I do to make myself better.

I learned how to heal thru Theophostic Counseling. I never new healing emotions could be so freeing. Its something you ought to experience and i believe you will never be the same again. Here is a link http://www.theophostic.com/content.asp?ID=8 I am not affiliated with them in any way but i have gone thru the session. They also post links to other sites than do this type of counseling. Some counselors work for a fee most work for free. There is also a guy who can walk you thru inner healing in the Phoenix AZ area and he actually does it over the phone and its free as well. www.hardcorechristianity.com I believe his name is Mike. Its really alot easier than we think the healing aspect of emotions. It only takes someone to walk us thru it.

I'm so sorry for what happened to you. That is something very difficult to get past, but there are people out there who have done it.

One thing--guilt and remorse are emotions we feel over something we've done. You didn't do anything to deserve what happened to you. Someone else did it to you. You were just a child and couldn't be expected to protect yourself.

Glad to hear you're seeking therapy. Just hang in there--it gets better, I promise.
