Practice Mindfulness

At least, mindfulness assists the person to be in the present moment, which in itself is a potent factor for cooperating with other factors that can break the cycle of suffering through reiteration of past injuries. As a result, you will be able to in some way guide your mind back to the present environment and bodily feelings. There are meditation, breathing exercises and other similar techniques which strengthens this practice imparting a feeling of taking charge of your thoughts.

 Reframe the Narrative

Occasionally, a memory is painful and comes with a script which has a tendency to be repeated unconsciously. Try to use the memory from a different approach they are presenting thus challenging this narrative. In addition to identifying how the struggle hurt you, attempt to see what the development or learning resulted from the situation. Reframing as a method is a type of CBT aimed at changing an emotional attitude toward a memory.

Limit Rumination

This form of turning over a traumatic experience in one’s mind makes the memory more painful. To remember this technique, refer to it as ‘breaking the habit’. When you notice you are wrapped up in a negative thought loop, interrupt the pattern by picking up an activity that will hold your focus such as exercise, reading, or spending time with friends and family. It also becomes a healthy way of creating some sort of distraction and at the same time building new habits.

Seek Professional Help

Some programs contain elements that are related to traumatic material and cannot be addressed with simple self-help treatment. Such treatments as EMDR and CBT are intended to process the information about traumatic events. In the course of talking to a professional psychologist/therapist, the person is given ways of handling the main cause of such emotions.

Learning to manage painful memories is a gradual journey. With patience, self-compassion, and the right techniques, you can free yourself from the past and live more fully in the present.
