You’ve heard and probably used the old cliché that “time heals all wounds”?  About that! A new study out of Arizona State University found that time doesn’t actually heal all wounds. They found that people can stay depressed for several years or longer after something terrible happens, especially if you just try and live a “normal” life. That can actually be DANGEROUS and mess you up to the point where you don’t bounce back AND you lose your ability to feel compassion for other people too. Wow! The best way for people to move on is to really focus on dealing with what happened, either with a therapist or even just by themselves, and work on things like thinking realistically about the future and being productive.
