How many issues could be repressed or ignored from ones childhood, some more than others, my personal dealings with this are mainly from loss, suffering a loss in childhood may not seem much when your young.

Then you grow up and realize that the loss that was experienced as a child has a deep impact on your entire life whether consciously or unconsciously, delving into the depths of the past can bring relief, regret or suffering, though dealing with the past is a great way to move forward.

This can bring up more stuff or you may even find out that you have been holding on to stuff, that truly is not important in your life now, the deeper you go the more likely you will find solace in your own being, the root cause of what is holding you back.

I found the root of my pain a couple of weeks ago, either though I was happy with my life there was a subconscious connection with my grandmother and avoiding any loss, by not experiencing life.

Your thoughts or experiences?
