I think that is a struggle for everyone in general, letting the past go. It applies to everything and pretty much any relationship.
I told my IC that I don't want to sit on her couch every week and rehash my past. I want to acknowledge my mistakes, and learn tools to ensure the past will not repeat itself.
Today was a pretty good day. Every time I find my mind wandering, I picture girl's list about the things she can/cant control. I try my hardest to concentrate on the "can" side.
