review<br />
Every issue of Happiful is<br />
reviewed by an accredited<br />
counsellor, to ensure we<br />
deliver the highest quality<br />
content while handling<br />
topics sensitively.<br />
The experience of our past<br />
has a huge impact on who<br />
we are today. The past is<br />
often explored in therapy to<br />
allow people to work through<br />
their experience – and, to a<br />
degree, liberate them from<br />
it. However, there can be<br />
benefits to exploring the past.<br />
For support with maintaining<br />
our wellbeing and stability<br />
– head over to p16. Our<br />
experiences in the past often<br />
inform the ‘self’ in the present.<br />
By connecting with the past<br />
and making sense of it, you<br />
unlock the ability to determine<br />
‘who you are’ in the moment.<br />
This is very powerful, and<br />
worth investing your time and<br />
energy into as, ultimately, it<br />
enables you greater control.<br />
