Talking about past trauma has helped but being forced to talk about it is very difficult. My therapist and I discussed a recent incident a few times and I described the incident to many people. It wasn’t until a few months later that I was able to revisit what had happened and process in a healthy way. I’m sorry for what has happened to you. Talking about it in your own time and in your own way is a step towards healing. Adding a little drama to it has helped me process. I think my actions may have been over dramatic at the time but am glad I know what to do if it were to happen again.
