Have any of you successfully let go of trauma and moved on?

I think most people here would scoff at the idea -- have scoffed, since it gets thrown around a lot -- that one can stop dwelling on trauma simply by deciding to. It's kind of like telling poor people that they wouldn't be poor if they just went out and made more money.

For me, my therapy and recovery has been mainly about building myself into the person I would've been if I'd had nurturing parents: Whole, confident, and strong. That's something that's taken time, effort, and help. I don't know if I'll ever feel that I've "moved on" from my trauma as much as it will just no longer dominate my life. As Freud said, it's better to ride above the horse than below.
