My T and I just talked about this yesterday. I am so detachted from my trauma emotionally, that even when reading the story that I wrote of one event I was just a one-toned emotionless voice. My T agrees so feeling those emotions in a safe enviroment will help get past some of my issues stemming from the trauma. My T's suggestion for doing this is.. Writing out what I would say to that 10 year old girl who was traumatized.. Writing to her like it was the time of the incident. Then, I am sure he will ask me to read it!

Just an aside, and really my opinion.. I do think it is healthy to heal and get past trauma.. but that does not mean you have to forgive. Which is weird for me to say, being a Christian and most of Christiany is based on the concept of Forgivness.
