You actually start to just
go through it and understand
and literally pick apart
what you're seeing.
So it wasn't my fault.
I didn't deserve it.
I didn't antagonize the person.
I didn't ask them, I didn't ask for it.
So all these things we tell ourselves,
the narrative that we have
in our head from the trauma
is very negative.
So now you learn, okay,
let's pick this apart.
Let's answer these questions.
Did you ask for it?
No.
So then why do you still think
that you brought it upon yourself?

you're actually answering them.
You don't have to go into detail

what you're censoring, what
you're feeling in that moment.
And as you process,
then you begin to understand
why you respond a certain way.
