Overcoming a Bad Childhood

Many people have childhood experiences that are less than happy. Some children are violently or criminally abused or neglected. Some children experience less severe types of abuse or neglect but they do experience a lack of parental support, encouragement, and direction in their lives. Even though the offenses may seem trivial to many, the psychological and emotional impact can be great to the person who suffered through the experience.

Regardless of your personal experience, it had an impact on you and it is not to be trivialized. No one is telling you to just forget it or even to forgive the person or persons who hurt you. However, you can learn to forgive the past and put it in its proper perspective, which will allow you to move on and create the life you desire instead of the one you were handed.

Your past is what it is. You can't change it and you don't ever have to like it. Your choices today are what matters! While you can't change the past, you can change your present and your future by letting go of it!

What happened to you as a child isn't your fault. How you handle it today is your responsiblity!

In order to leave behind the perils of the past, we need to process and grieve the full emotional impact of our adverse childhood experiences. Through processing our pain in a safe environment, we can learn to reframe our present experience and live a more productive life. The memories of a horrible childhood will never go away, but through grieving and sorting, we can help the pain lose its power over us.

Brainwash ...In a society that denies abuse and the aftereffects of it all

No one can know what its like unless they experienced it themselves

So easy for people do say move on Truth is one can heal but trauma last a lifetime

[ArtByLindaLee]

to leave it behind is to deny our truth

you know nothing what you speak of , in regards to past hurts , the subconscious has buried it , and thats how a child DID deal with it . past hurts (inner child) needs to be healed , then a person (the adult) can move forward without carrying baggage/past hurts .

[livevilife]

@ArtByLindaLee i totally agree with you !,,, some people (this video maker) just like to give advice to make THEMSELVES feel better . it has nothing to do with abused persons.... past emotional scares need to be dealt with ,healed and THEN move onward .

stop all the future talk...never look at the future...focus on the now, in the present. the future is right now. never worry about the future too much...because if you focus on the future to much, and think "oh i'll only be happy in the future" that's expanding your happiness...be happy now, that your still alive through the experience...and your past doesn't define you as a person. take it from me whose been severely abused. and i believe..we'll very good people. as survivors. or non survivor.

Right, because when you run away from home because you get abused, you can get into any university and pay for a house. No problem. It's not like you have to work minimum wage jobs to pay for a crappy room somewhere for several years and never find a proper job because you don't have the money or support for your future.

IT LAST A LIFETIME OF CONSEQUENCES

TO SAY IT IS THE PAST AND IT CAN BE NORMAL AGAIN IS RUBBISH

ONCE IT HAPPENED YOU CAN NO LONGER MAKE IT LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED AND FOR U TO SAY THE FUTURE IS CONTROLLED BY U IS STUPID
