If it's years after some event happened and you're still not able to get past it, then it's time to get counseling. Perhaps your sitting there going: You don't know what they did to me? While this is true, it is also true that you haven't moved on and need counseling. It means that you're the one still in bondage and not able to move forward, when the other person doesn't even remember the event anymore. Counseling is your answer.

Most people tend to think of counseling as this long drawn out process. That unless you have had this big horrible childhood, that counseling is not for you. This is a myth! Counseling can be a short term intervention. It can be just a time or two, to get an unbiased opinion for a major decision that you need to make. Perhaps its a new job you're considering, or if you should marry someone. These are important questions that a non bias second opinion can help with, and without spending tons of time and money on. It's why counseling is truly for everyone at some point in their life!
