From personal experience and tragedy within my own life, I've learned that 3 things need to happen.
You need to go to God with it and ask His help with the matter. Ask him to intervene in the matter and help you deal with whatever feelings you have, and to help the other person/people and deal with them.
Next, you need to forgive yourself or the other person whoever it has to do with. You need this step to give you the peace you'll need.
Finally, you need to deal with the matter with the person that it has to do with. If that is not a possibility because of circumstance then so be it...just leave it in God's hands. But, if it is not a possibility because of your feelings....step 1 and 2 work and completely minimizing those feelings that are stopping you from communicating with the other person.
And......after all is said and done.... if you still think about whatever it is that is disturbing...
While you are thinking about it, picture it in "still-frame" in your mind. Then, take a visual black permanent marker and scratch over the picture until all that your mind is looking at is black marker and then blink hard. Then, your mind is freed up to look and think about, and concentrate on your current surroundings. If you do this exercise every single time you find that you are thinking of the disturbing past...it will eventually die in your mind and your mind will file it and not think about it anymore. But, if you do not do those 3 steps....Good luck. Because our mind knows if it didnt deal with something and this will cause problems in our behavior, emotions, even cause physical illness. The mind can control all parts of us...so be very careful how you handle this. (Or whomever it is that needs to block a disturbing past....)
Another technique that can be done...
Picture the past in your head, close your eyes and feel the feelings inside your spirit, then slowly breath in. Picture all the emotions and things having to do with this filling up the air that you just took in. Then, slowly breath out with your lips puckered. When you breath out visualize those feelings etc. coming out in your breath... You can repeat this a few good times,...but you need to have very strong visualization skills or it does not work. This technique is also very effective if you can do it!
Good Luck!!!!

Wow, tough one here, but one that I have somehow achieved...Always look at the present and future - in other words, I know this is difficult, but try NEVER to look in the past. All it does is harm you and why are you harming yourself? Whenever you start to think of the past, turn on the TV and get into a show, go to the movies, listen to a new CD. Never listen to old songs, watch old movies or look at old photos. I used to do that and all I ever did was drink and cry. What good does that do? Maybe you need to speak to a professional for a bit. You know help does not need to permanent, just until your problem is solved and I know it can be. If I can do it so can you! Please do not ever harm yourself, no one and nothing is worth that! Your life can be so full, you'll see!

The best way is to focus on who you are now, who you are becoming and who you want to be. I decided to do this a while back, and while there are times that certain things will bother me, I find they are easier to deal with because that happened to the me that was THEN. The me that is NOW is focused toward the positive. I survived, and I'm a stronger person for it. I haven't forgotten or forgiven , but I'm through it. A sword must go through fire before it is strong.The fire dies out and you are left with an object of strength and beauty. Peace.

Uhmmm... you didn't give enough info on this question. If the disturbing past is bothering you, need to know if its a PTSD thing or what. If you want to block it from being found out, that's a whole new ballgame. People need info to answer the questions correctly, so provide as much info as you can. Good luck.

I have lots of experience here...I just put it at the very back of my mind, forgive the offender (yourself included), learn from the experience and live life to the fullest. Think about how fast life passes you by, no need to dwell on the past, many more good and bad experiences are coming your way so don't sweat what has passed and can't be changed.

Move on and make better choices. If its a relationship try avoiding common areas they would be at. If its friends, find new ones. If its school maybe consider a new one if possible. You may have to make a life change to get over the past.

You cant and shouldn't block a disturbing past. You should confront it, learn from it and move on. Sometimes that requires help from a professional.

I think again, everyone is a little different I personally don't keep too many skeletons in my past.. If your are dating someone and you really care about them, maybe its best if you bring it up now, it is your past not who you are today, you might be surprised at his or her response.. Truth as a way of coming out, better from you then someone else. :)

you've neglected each good band, i'm afraid... although you've a rather great record of crap. also, hate to interrupt it to you, yet Nirvana hasn't been a band for 18 years, for the reason that Kurt's demise. would not truly make the "previous 10 years" shrink. also, Queen and skinny Lizzy have only been a tacky nostalgia bands, minus the adult adult males who made them fashionable/quite good interior the first position.
