It was just, I always thought I had to solve it before it would go away, but you can't solve the past. That's the issue. And so once I realized that and I could let it go and then come from a place of groundedness and more so love, that's what I can do in the present moment. And that can then therefore change my future. But that's always through the present moment. But that's what broke it for me.

And when you were revisiting those past traumas, what happened within yourself that allowed you to let that go? Because it sounds like it was a little bit of compassion and a little bit of forgiveness, but I wasn't sure of who and how that worked for you.
