Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I keep telling myself to just move past what they did and not make a big deal of it, so I never actually look the hurt in the face
• I know in my head that they’re gone, but it still hasn’t landed
• People keep telling me I need to let them go and move on, and everything in me refuses
• I genuinely reached a moment where I felt I’d forgiven them, but the feeling faded and the hurt crept back, and now I’m not even sure it counted
• I thought I’d let it go, and then weeks later the old anger floods back out of nowhere
