a girl with agoraphobic need to suggestions

I always see people saying to truly heal trauma or even heal anxiety you need to “let go”. I can guess that they mean like don’t let it effect your life massively but i just don’t understand how to do that or work towards that.

I have pretty severe trauma and I also have BPD and panic disorder as a result, I’ve done years of therapy (before during and after my trauma) and I’m also taking medication. I still seem to have my past looming over me always despite feeling like im relatively healed/over it, it’s always there and still gets in the way often.

I know there’s no quick way to heal this kind of thing but i genuinely don’t really know any skills on how to manage this stuff if im being honest, a lot of my recovery focus has been on my anxiety rather than my trauma as it was the most pressing issue up until very recently. I know especially with my BPD diagnosis I’m never truly going to be “normal” but i do want to be the best version of myself i can be despite my diagnosis!

I’d love advice or stories or suggestions :))
