Q: How do you put the past in the past and live in the present without it haunting you? I was abused for 10 years in a marriage – some mild physical abuse, some sexual, and a lot of verbal. I am now remarried and I thought I got over my past and moved on. But come to find out, I just buried it, and now am getting help for depression and anxiety. In therapy, I’m learning that I never got over my past. So my question – one that seems nobody has a formula or answer for – is how do you leave your past and live in the present without your past haunting you, and move to a new and better you? I feel like I take one step forward and two back.

-Shannon S.

A: Hi Shannon,

Let me begin by telling you how sorry I am to hear about your past abusive marriage. As often as I receive messages like yours, they still strike a chord with me and tug sharply at my heart strings. I’m so glad that you’re out of that nightmare. Nobody deserves that kind of treatment, and I applaud your decision to take action and escape. I am also very pleased to hear that you’re getting help for your depression and anxiety. I’m confident that one day you will look back at therapy as being one of the best decisions you ever made for yourself and your new marriage. And you are so right about there being no single formula for leaving the past behind and living in the present. Even though our individuality is one of the things that make each of us so unique and special, it is also the very thing that makes it impossible to supply a one size fits all answer to moving on. But I do have something personal to share with you about this issue that I hope you will find helpful.

I have a little ceramic sign in my kitchen that reads as follows: “The past is history. The future is mystery. The NOW is a gift. That’s why we call it – THE PRESENT!” I read that little sign, which is right next to my toaster, each and every morning, Shannon. It’s like a morning mantra for me, and also a constant reminder to be mindful about NOT projecting negative expectations into the future and NOT allowing pain from the past to color my day. It’s my daily reminder to embrace what I have today, right at this moment, in the here and now. I find that far too many people spend so much of their time dreading the future and lamenting the past that they totally miss the wonder and beauty of life in the moment. Anyway, I know I haven’t given you the magic answer, but the fact that you are seeing a therapist, E-mailing me and are actively seeking this answer tells me that you are a woman of action and that things are going to be just fine. Don’t let your past become your shadow, Shannon. Let the light of therapy and the strength of your inner spirit show you the way! I believe in you!

Wishing You Great Health,

Answer by sab c
i think it is not about leaving the past behind you because the past is apart of you, you cannot forget the bad and just remember the good, what helped me deal with the things in the past is “OWNING” the past.. taking back the power that it took from you…once you take the power, the hurt, the pain that it caused you in the past once you take it and come to terms with it and let it go it will no longer control your life….you have to face your demons…and sometimes other people create those demons in your life but you can still face them and after that they cannot hurt you no more….you have to tell yourself that is was OK to hurt and it is OK that you still hurt…and that u are going to take that hurt and change it into something that cannot hurt u no more….and this takes time..alot of time…you have to tell your self what what happened to u was no good but it is not going to follow you around for the rest of your life…you need closure…do alot of praying…pray for strength…take it one day at a time….believe in better days and don’t let it beat you….i believe in you…!!!!

How can I get past my dislike of dentists?

11

It is about 10 years since I had work I done, and my teeth and gums are in bad shape. But I can not find that one dentist is not active all judgmental when examining me and I feel like a worm for my teeth can be so bad. I do not even mind the actual work done geting when they use a sedative and proper anesthesia, but her “Well, prevents TSK” attitude out of my appointment and what to get my teeth even worse. It’s a vicious circle! Why do dentists have the attitude to have?

Orlando can’t look past the Hawks, but it is perfectly OK for Magic fans to do so
As a longtime Magic fan that got in on the ground floor of this Amway operation, I have never been more optimistic about Orlando’s chances for an NBA title. Who knows? There is a long way to go and it could all go bad in a hurry.

Past Politics Of Nation Impact Sanibel’S History

0

Having just spent the week-end in Washington DC where every nook and cranny of the city is dedicated to the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln, I find an interesting number of confluences in life.

One can not help but think of the comparisons between the 16th President, Abe Lincoln, and the 44th President, Barack Obama. Aside from a tall, slender frame, both Presidents show example after example of eloquence in writing and verbal expression.

The current comparables and words of Lincoln, hailed (with some argument) as The Great Emancipator are best captured in this quotation : “As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy. ”

And so in this 200th year of national attention upon the meaning of slavery and its impact on American history, it is particularly interesting to observe one aspect of the black diaspora as indicated in the Lincoln celebration and as experienced on Sanibel.
Yvonne Hill, a native of Princeton, New Jersey, who is African-American, moved to Sanibel in 2001 and took notice of the diverse history of the Island. Her curiosity and research revealed that free black farmers, descendants of slaves, were among the pioneers who settled Sanibel. They cleared land, planted trees, built houses, did hauling, domestic work, and worked at resorts, according to Hill and collaborator on the book, Marguerite Jordan.

Hill and Jordan wanted people to be aware of the significant contribution that early black families made to Sanibel hoping that through their writings and photo collection that the legacy would not be lost.
An ongoing exhibit of the photographs collected for the book is currently on display at the Islander Center at 2401 Periwinkle Way on Sanibel.

What does the prevalence of drug abuse say about our society? What would someone from the past conclude?

7

Drug abuse is rampant. It has destroyed millions of lives. Families are torn apart, children neglected; not to mention the financial cost to society. Some people say it is because of poverty, but wealthy people abuse drugs too. Is the underlying cause the acceptance of hedonism and rejection of societal norms?

Can past hard drug abuse damage the ova (egg cells) in a woman and cause mental retardation or birth defects?

3

Can the already developed ova that are in a woman’s body from birth be damaged from years of hard drug use, specifically opiate, marijuana and cocaine abuse? I am curious to know if the child of a former heroin addict is at risk of being born with any birth defects both physical and mental. The mother has been free from drugs for six years. I want to know if ova can be altered while dormant in the ovaries and lead to problems years later if the egg is fertilized. Thank you.
