Unresolved issues, would you tell your parents?

I see a therapist for PTSD. It actually helps to talk about these terrible events. My therapist does EMDR. It mimics REM sleep and I have to think about my past traumas. At first I shook and cried and could barely get through it. but after the 2nd time I was able to imagine myself in control and making the people who have hurt me walking away because even though they weren't physically hurting me anymore, they were still mentally torturing me. Also, at first it was like opening Pandora's box and my flashbacks were bad, but after learning coping techniques, I feel a lot better. I think you really need to open up and confront your past so you can enjoy the rest of your life.
