“For the anxious person, unresolved frightening and overwhelming experiences of the past are repeatedly showing up in the present. To deny this will keep you stuck in the past and in the negative emotions linked with it. But to look at your past with open and honest eyes is to give yourself the opportunity to understand these historical experiences, so you can identify them when they reappear in the present. When you can see the past in the present, you are given the choice to reengage in old patterns or to move beyond them and create new and healthy ones. This is how you move beyond the painful wounds of your past and raise the vibrational quality of your present-moment experience.”
