This article about Gisèle Pelicot (the French woman whose husband drugged her and brought in other men to rape her) discusses how some people want to dive deeply into their past traumas to work through them, and others just want to downplay it and move on. (This has caused a big rift between her and her kids.) These differences can be cultural, generational, or individual, but I'm finding for me it's also changed with age. I don't have much interest in dwelling on what's too late to change now. I don't know if that's because of memory loss, other neurological changes, or having learned that it's more productive for me.
