Choosing to Face Our Pain

Through narrative therapy, we can integrate painful events into our life story and assign meaning to them, or at least we can come to more clearly assess their impact.

When we dismantle the barrier between the basement and the living room, blocks of pain will come up and we will have to suffer a bit.

Here’s the thing about trauma: we’ve all suffered it in some form or other, but almost none of us were taught from a young age how to handle it.

As we heal, the need for more healing becomes apparent to us. It is painful, but healing makes us better perceivers of what is still hurting.
