Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• I keep telling myself to just move past what they did and not make a big deal of it, so I never actually look the hurt in the face
• I know I need to face the memory eventually, but the moment I get near it I get pulled all the way under
• The memory finally doesn’t sting the way it used to, but the belief it left behind is still running the show
• I go through my days on autopilot, doing what I’m told and what’s expected, never quite feeling like I’m the one steering my own actions
• The hard things that happened to me float around with no order, like they’re still happening now rather than back then
