Avoiding past joy?

Post Body

I have noticed that, as much as I want to make peace with my inner child and the trauma I endured, I avoid all of the toys/games/media that brought me joy as a kid. It is like looking at a red hot burner and asking myself to slam my hand on it. I simply can't bring myself to do it. Oddly enough, it is significantly easier for me to pick up something that I hated in the past, almost to the point of seeming like a comforting alternative to anything I loved in the past. Is this a normal feeling? For those further in their healing journey, have you ever tackled this and, if so, how?

Thank you for your time and consideration
