Can affirmations help with letting go of the past?

[LambChop]

Hello all,

There are some things in the past that have happened that I can't let go of. Getting bullied, cheated on, mentally abused, and embarrassing situations that all have lowered my self-esteem throughout my life. For the past month or so I've been trying to psychoanalyze all of these memories one by one and figure out why they have hurt me so bad. Now that I kinda know WHY, I'm trying to figure out how to heal and let go. Can affirmations help with this? Or is there another technique that can help with letting go of the past?

Thank you for reading

The Ultimate "step" is of course to Let Go.

But that only comes after/along with Acceptance.

So don't waste your time with affirmations that don't bring about genuine Acceptance.

But as long as your affirmations do bring about genuine Acceptance, then you're all good!

What matters more is the place it's coming from, rather than the activity itself

Affirmations are just lies you tell yourself.

To free yourself from trauma is simply to just accept it happened. And realize you're not worse for it.

Your past is a fabrication of Consciousness in the Now. You are safe. I recommend you to start taking seriously consciousness work and if you're commited to the path, God-realization will set you free. You are identified with the ego-mind, this is why you suffer.
