The CPT program I went through at the VA hospital
requires you to do a lot of writing.
I had to write about things that traumatized me
throughout my life.
Writing about what happened, some of the things
that traumatized me in my life, sharing it
in a group session, and listen to the feedback I was getting,
it helped me to understand that, one, I needed to let it go.
Two, the decision I made, whether it was right or wrong,
it was a done deal, and I needed to move forward.
So by writing about the different scenarios
that happened in my life that traumatized me, it was like
releasing within myself these things that happened
and coming to understand what really happened in my life
and that I didn't, it was not my fault.
And that in itself was very, very powerful to me.
Writing, sharing it, it gave me a better,
much more better understanding of what occurred in my life
and that I was not at fault.
I am not to blame, I need to move forward.
