Honestly, I don't think the end of the process will change the way you view things at all.

Your perceptions and the reactions that certain places will cause will continue throughout your lifetime. The reaction may become less and less over time but it will likely stay the same.

I know there are still places I can't go, songs I can't hear, people I can't see because they trigger bad memories. They replay in my head like they are happening all over again. You seem to hold on to things for a long time so I don't see that change because of a piece of paper.

There are also places, songs, and people that trigger good memories. This will continue for the rest of my life and I'm relatively certain it might do the same in your life.

You will learn to compartmentalize your emotions more and more the more times this happens. The dates will become unimportant or will only stir a brief recollection.

You'll get there......the finalization won't be what does it though.
