I have been through a lot in life too, which helps me to be able to empathize with situations, thoughts and feelings that we have. Sometimes, it's not easy just being human.

The best way to stop thinking about certain experience is to concentrate on the good things in your life.
Find a positive and constructive outlet. Hobbies, athletics, and recreational activities provide a helpful and positive distraction. Some may even promote a passion and allow you feel fulfillment in something that is just for you.

By exercising, staying busy, having a routine, and thing about the present moment you are in. Staying positive.
Distraction is the best way to stop thinking about a disturbing experience. Focusing on anything that keeps the hands and the mind busy helps me forget about a bad experience. Personally, helping others on this site is especially helpful in handling my own experiences! :)
Its hard to say depending on what the situation is? If it is something that is controlling your life or bothering you on a daily basis, perhaps seeking advice from a loved one or trusted person, counselor or therapist can help.

Talk to someone. A trusted friend or family member. Also, if the experience is really affecting you go to a counsellor and/or psychologist/therapist.

One of the best ways that I know of is to try to distract yourself with other things. Try doing more of what you like to do. If you have any hobbies , these would be a great help to you in situations like this. Also , going out with your friends and family and just really having some fun can help tremendously. Just try having some fun.
I don't know what experience this is. But I've come to learn that making peace with my past helps. And of course, time is a great healer. Because time brings more life experiences that take us furthest from where we used to be. I'm so sorry for whatever happened. :(
Find things that make you happy and "forget everything". Find things that make you live in the moment.
