Consider Going to Therapy "Sometimes we can be prevented from moving past hurt because it is not properly processed and is stored in the mind and body as trauma," Dr. Trent said. She suggests eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR) and compassion-focussed therapy (CFT) to help you move past pain to an embraceable future. You can filter through EMDR therapists in Psychology Today's database and CFT therapists under the "Get Help" section here. Image Source: Getty / Delmaine Donson
