I think I may know what they are trying to say. Its one thing to search for the root of your problems. I know my crappy childhood is the cause of the anxiety, depression, and low self esteem I grew up to have as an adult. However, I can either continue to blame my parents and never change, or take 'responsibity' for who I am today, and work at changing myself into the person I would like to be. My therapist does very little if any discussing about the past. Its all about who I am now and what steps I need to take to become the confident, happy person I dream of being. I'm not saying childhood trama is a breeze to overcome or anything, but once you realize its up to you to decide to leave it behind, only then can you stop being the victim of those who hurt you and move on.
