Have you ever sat with a friend and they keep going over the same old negative stuff and don’t seem to be able to get past it?
Have you tried talking about a past issue, made some progress and feel like you have hit a wall in working it all out?
Can
you openly talk about “it” without getting emotional but you think
about “it” every waking moment with no respite when you are asleep?
Is
everyone telling you to “get over it” and “it’s time you moved on” but
it’s still stuck in your story and you feel like there must be something
wrong with you?
Talking about past hurts and trauma is great and
can help a lot of people and sometimes though it is not enough.
Sometimes talking about it doesn’t bring the relief you thought it would
or it only takes you so far.
That’s because your body still remembers what if felt like at the time.
