A cup of water is not heavy. You can easily pick it up and take a drink from it. But what if I told you to hold it out in front of you.After a few minutes, your arm would get tired. And after an hour, your arm would go up. The cup itself is not the cause of the pain. It is the time you spent holding on to the cup.This resembles our past trauma. The longer we cling on to it, the more it weighs us down. Yet water is essential for life.We cannot live without it, just like we cannot erase the memories of our pa ...
