“Just move on” or “The past is the past”? It’s naive to think your past doesn’t influence your present. The things you learned yesterday affect your thoughts, decisions and actions today. Until you face the past and examine what false messages you learned, you carry those harmful beliefs into the future. Examining the past isn’t living there; you live in the past when you refuse to examine it.
