Most of us have something in our past that’s a painful memory—a traumatic event, a heartbreak, years of bullying or rejection that still gets triggered. We hear how important it is to move on, forgive, let go, live in the present, but those words can often seem like cliches. If you’ve been hurt deeply enough, therapy and self-help practices alone may not completely free you from the tyranny of an old wound. True freedom requires the courage to embrace what happened to you and use it to change the world.
