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 />
