And my version of what your T said about you not being your story is this: My story is a page in the book of my life. It is not a page that I have to focus on. It is not a page that I have to avoid. Until I can really own the last 2 sentences I just wrote, I am not done telling.

For many people who have been victims and must not let that story claim possession of who they are, yes, I agree with your statement.
But, for me, my story is an indictment of who I am as a person. It intimately flavors my whole past, my present and my future. UNLESS, it can somehow recede from my consciousness and I'm allowed to begin again - to start from NOW.
So, although I will hate telling my story again, my hope is that it will be finally released. If not,... (well, I can't go there yet. Too depressing of a thought)
