Default Re: Why not just move on?

I understand the logic, but sometimes the trauma must be processed.

http://besselvanderkolk.net/index.html

“Being able to feel safe with other people is probably ​the single most important aspect of mental health; safe connections are fundamental to meaningful and satisfying lives.”

“Neuroscience research shows that the only way we can change ​the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience ​and learning to befriend what is going on inside ourselves.”

Ultimately everyone needs to make that determination. It's really a personal and case-by-case decision.

The other point is that others should be warned, so that they don't repeat the same traumas and abuse that many here went through.
