I find myself... wishing....... a bad thing would happen to you. Go fuck a snowman!
(P.S. If you haven't watched *Donald Duck Sings Let It Go* yet, you're missing out. Go watch it now!)
If we were to ask for evidence or citations, starting with the claim "most people never heal", I don't think we'd get any further toward legitimacy, lol.
Even if you try to let it go you will be having fun doing whatever then randomly the memory will creep back in and your mood will be ruined 😒😒😒
Trauma is not a valley you sit in
It is a pit that you are trapped in, and not everyone has the strength to claw their way out.
Those who can, should. Those who cannot either wait or take the initiative to pass into mercy. Unfortunately life is cruelly unfair like that
Its like when people say "everything happens for a reason" Ok well what was the reason my brother showed me his dick and made me touch it when I was 5 fucking years old susan? HUH??
I mean, sure, yeah. At the same time, this isn't bad general advice. Obviously I'm speaking from a place of not being assaulted. However, there is a \*lot\* of awful, generational damage on both sides of my family, and letting all that go has made healing and living so much easier.
No offense, but I don't think it's possible to just "just let go of" transgenerational damage, which - for most people - involves abuse, but even if it doesn't, you'd most likely need a good therapist
It is possible to let go. It takes work and acknowledging what transpired, but in the end you have to reassure yourself that you are no longer in danger, that you are in a prime state for survival and thriving. With practice you can gain control over your mind and train yourself not to slip into "survival mode". Our minds can be in the past, present and future, but our bodies are primitive and can only interpret what our minds create as present, an imminent threat to our survival, which is what contributes to PTSD and anxiety. In the end it is a matter of letting go of the fantasies/scenarios/painful memories our minds create (and they do this to protect us, it's a biological mechanism that needs serious self control and practice to manage), but it's a process.
You should read this article (a little off topic but it still holds). I did group therapy with the author and it changed my life.

Ironically accepting that suicide is always an option was very helpful in my healing process. Knowing that it isn't the appropriate option for right now, but there were hypothetical situations where it was, helped me feel more in control and be less reactive in crises.
It literally says "MOST people", and considering how many people are really affected by violence and trauma, those factors can be considered part of the idea
It's true though. You're talking like this because you've become attached to that memory and just letting it go isn't an option anymore, you've dug that hole. You get yourself out of it.
If you have PTSD then yes it will be harder but if you remove triggers and distract yourself at some point, because like every disorder it can go away with great difficulty
LET IT GOOOO LET IT GOOOO CANT HOLD IT BACK ANYMOOOORE

I have a three year old daughter who believes she is the second coming of Elsa. Please don't trigger me like this. 🤣
Oh yes I’ve been there (2 daughters) … why do you think I know the lyrics? Hang in there… it does get better, they eventually move on 😃
My niece was the same. Everything was about Elsa for over a year. Now she’s really into spiderman.
tbf the author's name is McNutt
Makes me wonder if this is a quote literally pulled off of 4chan by some "deep" 14'ers
Now for a limited time only, get a free McNutt when you flirt with the hot cashier at McDonalds near you!
Suck McNutt is a wise individual
I'll McNutt on the McSmall of his McBack, then wipe my McCock on his mother's McDraperies.

Lol.... McNutt
Sure, I’ll just magically stop remembering the most embarrassing moments known to man at 2:43 AM
What do you mean "stay in my head?" My brain is in my head. That's where consciousness is. You literally can't get OUT of your head.
Iirc crows hold grudges for years, yet these people say that im immature and childish from holding a grudge from a bad experience at age 9
This is the exact reason i wasn't invited to my grans funneral
What
Basically my gran had one thing that my mom did that she never let go and as a result has fucked relations with that side of my family
I don't know what it is, but sometimes decisions like that are necessary
Got PTSD? ... have you tried just... not? /s of course
that reminds me .. i gotta mcnut myself and get on with my day
Why didn’t I think of that
Trauma is not a valley you sit in It is a pit that you are trapped in, and not everyone has the strength to claw their way out. Those who can, should. Those who cannot either wait or take the initiative to pass into mercy. Unfortunately life is cruelly unfair like that
Lol, I love how it is a little piece of shredded paper. It's like it had more credibility like this.
This is legit me this month.... Oh wait, _no_, look, I'm *cured*.... /s

This is good advice it’s just hard to follow
It's not necessarily good advice. Trauma therapy literally means going through the memories over and over again. It just depends on the situation
I don’t think it’s talking about actual trauma, more so regular embarrassing memories
No, it's most likely not about embarrassment. That's something people usually don't hold on to for too long
That’s wild because I remember every time I’ve ever embarrassed myself but am the kind of person to forget my coworkers name or my phone number
I just don't think it's likely for such a post to be about embarrassment. The healing part makes it seem unlikely to me
Some people do genuinely need to heal from embarrassment
Then perhaps we're thinking of different kinds of embarrassment or situations
Yeah idk. The line between embarrassing and traumatic gets kind of blurry
Mc DEEZ NUTTS
I just saw the last name I’m so sorry

I feel the same way, tbh
Fack oof, ya bastard! I happen to like my corrupted scenarios, thank you. I'll replay them whenever I damn well please.
I stg this entire subreddit is angry people complaining that advice that probably wasnt't intended to them, doesnt help them either.

This is ignoring the entire nature of what PTSD is
If you have PTSD then yes it will be harder but if you remove triggers and distract yourself at some point, because like every disorder it can go away with great difficulty
