Writing has been my therapy these past few years. It has allowed me to safely navigate and explore past trauma within the confines of the page and my mind. I find the printed/written word makes it real. I record my account of events and then return to them, tweak/edit and continue the process. There is so much anger and confusion from the stories, but the process dampens the anger and lets me process certain events. Of course, sharing such stories with others may evoke anger from them, which is something I did not predict and the reason I no longer share.
