As backwards as it may sound, the key to healing from anything in the past is forgiveness. Not in the terms of letting the person off the hook. More the kind of forgiveness where you are simply giving yourself permission to let go of it. With the kind of stuff you are talking about, it is going to be like peeling an onion. There are going to be layer upon layer of embeded emotion in the past. The strange thing is that you actually forgive yourself for how you feel about it, not the person responsible. The following is very helpful towards peeling the layers of that onion.

INNER VOICE: I love you, please forgive me, I am sorry, thank you
