Talking about it with a T who can help you process & validate what happened is.

Talking about it & continually thinking about it remembering every little detail without help to process what happened only keeps the wound open by constantly JUST reliving the trauma without providing a way for it to heal.

I was talking about a trauma I went through on the radio 11 years after it happened & about 2 years after actually processing it in therapy. It was just like reliving it over again. Thankfully because I had processed it, I was able to recover quicker though even then it left me with a spacey feeling for about a week after talking about it.
