Before you can get rid of haunting memories, you must come to terms with the origin of those memories. You can not let go of anything that you try to suppress. Suppression is not a solution, it is only a band-aid on the problem. Talking to someone about these memories can assist you in coming to terms with them. If that is too much for you to do, buy a journal and write it down. Writing can be very therapeutic. Really, all you need is a way to get your feelings about these experiences out.

Now that you have mentally cleansed yourself, you can begin to "let go." Letting go means that you allow yourself to understand that any experience you have had, good or bad, is not your fault. You can get to the point where you know that each experience you've had the opportunity to witness is meant to be a lesson to you. You were meant to learn something from the situation so that you could advance to where you need to be in this life. When learning to let go, internalizing this first point is the most important.

Decide what lesson it is you were to learn from the experience that produced the memory. There is always a lesson in everything.

When you define the lesson you were meant to learn, create a mantra on paper, that you can commit to memory. This mantra should include the experience itself, as well as what you have learned from it. For example, if you have a painful memory of abuse, your mantra can read: "Through the memory of being emotionally abused, I am learning to be a stronger person and I will no longer allow anyone to take advantage of me."

Take the time to sit with this mantra and let your mind grab a hold of it. Allow yourself to make the memory of your mantra stronger than the memory of the experience you have had. Repeating it to yourself frequently will accomplish that goal.

Take your mantra and put it in a safe place so that if you ever forget it, or the memories are still painful, you can return to it easily.

Allow peace to enter your being. When you are at peace, and calm has become part of your life, it very difficult for negativity to live inside of you. In order for you to let go, you must accept peace.

Try doing easy breathing in and breathing out processes, once you have relaxed try thinking of a happy place, or try to focus on the one thing you want best, for example: think of ice cream or candy, anything that will take these bad memories out of your head. If you are stressing so much, try sitting down and calm your self by listening to classical music. This will sooth your soul.

Forgive! If there is resentment, forgiveness is a big part of letting go and moving on.

Thinking about it in a very logical way can somewhat lessen the pain. eg. Having it in mind that this is just an emotion, a typical brain activity triggered by stimuli.

Having pets may distract you from the bad memory.

Sometimes finding someone you really trust to help you through the process can be a challenge. Luckily, the internet is a safe place for anonymity. Use online forums to post your experiences. That way, you can still get the input of others and no one will know that it's you who is talking.

Surround yourself with a large number of friends whom you can really trust.
In every negative, it is possible to find a positive. Sometimes it is hard to find, but don't give up looking for it, and once you find it, don't forget it.
