Stop Telling Yourself Stories: Face Your Trauma and Start Healing Now

Let me cut to the chase: It's time to stop running from your past. You've been telling yourself stories, adding layers of opinions and excuses to what happened. But the truth? A video camera doesn't lie. It captures the raw, unfiltered facts—no interpretations, no justifications, no blame games. If you want to break free from the chains of your trauma, you need to face those facts head-on.


The Unfiltered Reality: What a Video Camera Would See

Imagine if a camera had recorded your past trauma. What would it have picked up? Just the facts:

  • The events as they unfolded: Who was there, what was said, what actions were taken.
  • The environment: The sights, sounds, and physical surroundings.
  • Your reactions: How you physically responded in that moment.

No opinions, no emotional overtones—just the bare-bones reality of what happened.


Acknowledge How You Felt—No More, No Less

Now, let's get real about something else: Your feelings are valid. You don't need to embellish the story or twist the facts to justify your pain. What happened hurt—you know it, and that's enough. Stop adding layers of narrative that keep you stuck. Acknowledge how you felt then and how it affects you now.

  • Name the emotions: Fear, anger, sadness, betrayal—whatever they are, call them out.
  • Accept them: Stop pushing them down or dressing them up. Feel them fully.

Stop the Stories—They're Holding You Back

Every time you replay the event with added opinions and justifications, you're reinforcing the pain. You're giving power to the trauma instead of taking it back.

  • No more "I should have..." or "If only they...": These thoughts are poison.
  • Cut the victim mentality: Yes, what happened was unfair, but clinging to that keeps you powerless.
  • Eliminate excuses: They only serve to justify staying stuck where you are.

Face It Head-On: The Path to Freedom

It's not easy. Facing the cold, hard facts without the cushion of excuses or narratives is tough. But it's the only way out.

  • Confront the reality: Accept what happened in its purest form.
  • Own your healing: No one else can do this for you.
  • Take action now: The longer you wait, the tighter the chains become.

Stop Hiding Behind Stories—Take Control of Your Life

You've been living in the shadow of your trauma for too long. It's time to step into the light. By stripping away the stories and facing the facts, you reclaim your power. You start the real healing process—not the band-aid fixes, but deep, transformative healing.
