Erin:  Once I got into mental clarity, I was just so glad to be in the present that I didn’t care about my past. 

I CAN THINK ON MY OWN

My past was all so consuming it was nice to think about the present.  I didn’t forget my past or how I used to feel.  Remember that depression has an overwhelming feeling of shame.  Shame requires you to live in your past.  To be honest I wanted nothing to do with my past because it hurt so much.

My past is visited by my therapy session so I could lay down a btter thought process for highly emotional situations.  My depression created ‘knee jerk’ reactions that were not healthy. 

Ie  being defensive regarding work performance.  I used to be so defensive.  My therapist and I revisited the past so I can find out why I react to certain things and lay down newer constructive reactions to unwanted behaviors.

I hope that was helpful.
