00:00:00.196 --> 00:00:02.956 A:middle
One of the reasons that talking about it is helpful

00:00:02.956 --> 00:00:07.166 A:middle
is because this memory is coming back to you anyway.

00:00:07.166 --> 00:00:10.436 A:middle
So it's coming back to you in your dreams.

00:00:10.436 --> 00:00:12.596 A:middle
It's coming back to you during the day

00:00:12.596 --> 00:00:14.156 A:middle
when you don't wanna think about it,

00:00:14.156 --> 00:00:15.936 A:middle
and suddenly there it is.

00:00:15.936 --> 00:00:20.156 A:middle
So by allowing yourself to talk about it,

00:00:20.156 --> 00:00:23.336 A:middle
you're actually taking control of the memory

00:00:23.336 --> 00:00:25.746 A:middle
rather than the memory controlling you.

00:00:25.746 --> 00:00:28.066 A:middle
It might be tough when we start talking about it.

00:00:28.066 --> 00:00:29.366 A:middle
But what you'll see is that

00:00:29.366 --> 00:00:32.526 A:middle
you'll see that over time it's gonna get easier.

00:00:32.526 --> 00:00:34.376 A:middle
It's not gonna be as hard as you thought it was,

00:00:34.376 --> 00:00:36.296 A:middle
and you're gonna realize you can do a lot more

00:00:36.296 --> 00:00:37.736 A:middle
than you thought you could.

00:00:37.736 --> 00:00:40.816 A:middle
There's nothing dangerous about a memory.

00:00:40.816 --> 00:00:42.776 A:middle
A memory can't actually hurt somebody.

00:00:42.776 --> 00:00:44.926 A:middle
It can make you feel bad, right?

00:00:44.926 --> 00:00:47.456 A:middle
But that's temporary.

00:00:47.456 --> 00:00:53.186 A:middle
Actually being hurt by or being in danger

00:00:53.186 --> 00:00:56.206 A:middle
from a memory just isn't possible.

00:00:56.206 --> 00:01:01.026 A:middle
So sitting in a safe space with a doctor or a therapist

00:01:01.026 --> 00:01:03.726 A:middle
and being able to talk about what you've been through 

00:01:03.726 --> 00:01:05.326 A:middle
is not actually dangerous.

00:01:05.326 --> 00:01:07.636 A:middle
We do it at your own pace.

00:01:07.636 --> 00:01:11.146 A:middle
So you're not forced to do anything that you don't want to do,

00:01:11.146 --> 00:01:15.236 A:middle
but you'll find that you are able to talk about it,

00:01:15.236 --> 00:01:17.096 A:middle
have your feelings about it,

00:01:17.096 --> 00:01:23.476 A:middle
and with very few sessions, you'll feel better.

00:01:23.476 --> 00:01:27.326 A:middle
The strong feelings that you have now will dissipate,

00:01:27.326 --> 00:01:28.896 A:middle
will get less and less with time.
