Putting your pain into words can be powerful healing. Try this:
Write about your trauma:
- What happened & what you felt
- What you saw, heard, smelled, remember
- Your deepest emotions & thoughts
Connect the dots: How has this touched your relationships? Your childhood? Your sense of self?
Link it to: 💭 Who you were before 💭 Who you are now 💭 Who you want to become
Include everything:
- Dreams & nightmares
- Haunting thoughts
- Flashback details
- Raw feelings you've buried
You don't need perfect words. You need HONEST words.
Why write? Writing helps your brain process what feels unprocessable. It takes what's trapped inside & gives it somewhere to go.
You're not reliving it—you're releasing it.
Your story matters. Your pain is valid. Your healing is possible. 💙
Consider sharing your writing with a therapist for added support.
