I don't want to talk about my trauma and just want to move on with my life-is this a good idea, and is it possible?

It is very hard to just move on from any type of trauma without some sort of counseling where you have the opportunity to talk about what you have been through in a safe environment. If you don't talk about it, the pain and hurt that you've bottled up inside could start to spew out sideways in ways you don't want.

Depending on where you are in life, you may be able to work on "now." Developing a good set of coping skills is crucial before working on any trauma. However, once you are at a point in your life where you feel like you are more stable, it would be helpful to talk about it. I'm sure you have learned a lot from it and it is valuable to be able to see the strength you had to be able to survive.

In my experience no it is not. I've always been the type of person that thought if you just choose to ignore something and "move on" because you don't really ever want to discuss it then it will just go away, but it truly only gets worse. Talking about the things in your life that have hurt you is a healthy way of releasing the pain you are holding inside, and allows you to gain closure and move forward. It isn't always easy to re-live trauma when discussing it, but its necessary and I promise you'll feel a huge weight lifted from your shoulders once you do :)

I don't think that will get you very far. We just aren't meant to keep things locked up. I do not believe it is possible for us to deny healing yet move forward with our lives. We must release, we must grieve. There is a time for everything under the sun.

No it"s not. Trust me everything is way better to express it by telling or showing somehow because you feel way more free.

If you ever feel that you want to talk about it please do. Yes, moving on is a good idea but it won't work as much as talking helps it will help you feel better but , keeping things inside you is just going to haunt you

Every person responds differently to trauma and the path to healing looks different for everyone. You can try whatever feels right to you, and eventually change your path if you find out it doesn't work for you. Many people find benefit in sharing their experience and seeking support, but it's a personal choice to decide if and how to do it. Listen to your own needs and do whatever feels right for your healing.

Yes and no. It will surface later on and force you to face it. Just something to consider. I did this when I was raped, and it surfaced years later and I shut down. It all depends on you.
