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

• The memory finally doesn’t sting the way it used to, but the belief it left behind is still running the show
• I’ve been focused on the obvious wound
• Ever since what happened I move through life with these flat, absolute rules running underneath everything
• No reframe of this is going to work, because what happened really did happen
• Since they died, the whole ground I stood on is gone
