Carrying pain from our early childhoods is not optional for most people with real, consistent trauma. This narrative about "choosing to let it go", "deciding to move on" or anything else that implies that traumatised people are intentionally remaining traumatised is not helpful and it's not rooted in reality.
It's just another means of justifying ableism by placing the blame of mental illness squarely back onto the shoulders of disabled people to shirk any responsibility for accomodating and including us. If curing PTSD or other trauma disorders was as simple as "developing positive attitudes" and "letting it go" was that simple, trauma wouldn't exist. We all want to be better. None of us find this experience to be fun.
