Yes it is very traumatic. You have to forgive yourself or you will never be free! Remember the Lord Jesus is Gracious and do not hold your sin against you at all! Jesus has had mercy on you and has forgiven you all your sin. He cancelled ALL your debt at the cross!!
The question is will you now be as Merciful to yourself as He has been to YOU!
f you cannot forgive yourself make a list of all the reasons why not? For example "I don't deserve to be free after what I have done" etc. Take these beliefs prayerfully to the Lord and ask him to talk to you about it! If Jesus does not talk you out the belief immediately ask him to show you where you have learned that belief and then let him talk to you in the memory where you learned the belief!
In this way the Lord will enable you to reach a position where you can forgive yourself from your heart! In that moment when you have forgiven yourself from the heart ask the Lord to show you how He has forgiven you!
Jesus can heal the deepest hurts! If you don't manage on your own and cannot find a flesh and blood believer to help you resolve this pain.
