For some reason, some hear the voice of conscience much more often than others, but not everyone knows how to cope with it. The torment of conscience, torment, self-accusation can lead to serious consequences in the form of mental disorders, and therefore you need to learn how to deal with them.
Objective assessment
When the torment of conscience interferes with life, you need to realize the reasons for this. Often even the slightest misconduct in especially conscientious people causes a violent reaction. Although conscience is the voice of internal morality, it should not be the main one, but blindly following it is a common mistake. Still, conscience touches on some moments from the past, which, unfortunately, cannot be changed. Constantly returning to his past, a man prevents himself from building a future.
In general, it is worth remembering that a suddenly awakened conscience is even a good sign. A sign that a person has not lost something good, bright and eternal.
Repentance
If some situation in the past worries so much that even physical ailment arises, if self-accusation is really caused by a past bad deed, the best solution would be repentance, apology to the person who is offended or betrayed by you. If there is an opportunity to apologize to the eyes, this is wonderful. You just need to overpower your pride and talk about what happened. But this option is not always possible, and therefore sometimes you can repent without the presence of the person himself. After all, getting rid of the torment of conscience is necessary not for him, but for you. It is likely that he himself had long forgotten everything, forgiven and let go of the past.
Apologies can be written on paper in the form of a message, and it does not have to be sent. If this allows you to free yourself from the pangs of conscience, you can even burn it in the end as a sign of forgiveness for yourself. You can also use the "empty chair" technique, imagining that person sitting on the spot. You can tell him everything - from the reasons for your actions to sincere perplexity about the latter. In the end, of course, it's worth apologizing.
This method is used by psychotherapists in cases where a person is tormented by situations related to deceased relatives or acquaintances. Here, this is generally the only way for a person to apologize and pour out his soul.
