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

• I keep replaying that argument from behind my own eyes and every time I do, the same hurt and anger flood right back as if it’s happening again
• I keep going over what happened wanting to actually understand it, but every replay just drops me back into reliving the hurt blow by blow instead of figuring out why it went the way it did
• I’ve already faced this pain and talked it to death, but my attention just keeps circling back to stare at it, replaying it on a loop
• The same old grievance keeps surfacing on its own
• 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
