Making Peace with the Past
Our past shapes us, but it doesn’t have to define us forever. Many of us carry old beliefs from painful experiences — times we felt we should have done better, moments of being hurt, or guilt from having hurt someone else. These experiences can leave behind negative images of ourselves that still influence how we live today.
You may remember certain moments that once felt confusing or overwhelming, and now notice how they continue to affect your choices. The more we resist or dislike parts of our past, the more power they seem to hold. By learning to accept even the difficult chapters, we can begin to release their grip and move forward with greater ease.
True acceptance isn’t about pretending something didn’t matter. Often what feels like “acceptance” is really suppression — pushing painful feelings aside so we don’t have to look at them. Over time, this leaves us stuck with the very emotions we long to escape.
Hypnotherapy offers a gentle way to work with these memories. By shifting the emotions and beliefs attached to them, it becomes possible to soften what once felt unbearable. Sometimes, feelings that have been carried for years can begin to ease, bringing a sense of freedom and peace.
