You can't rewrite your childhood. It's there, traumas and all.
But you can rewrite how you feel about it. I have been responding to the mini-traumas from my childhood most of my life, having never been taught how to deal with feelings.

But by re-imagining those episodes I can change how I still feel about them.

Is it easy? No.
Is it possible? Always yes.
Is there healing in the end. Yes. That's where I am now.
Finally.
I always knew there was something wrong with me, but that was part of the story I had been led to believe. It was eight years ago I realized it was wasn't me, but the way I was raised. I've been at it a long time.
I still have a lot to process, (seems like a lot, but when I count out the episodes on a hand it's not so many), and others might show up, but I know how to deal with them. Keith Louw in North Orem helped me a great deal in re-imagining those episodes, which takes the emotion right out of them. Thanks, Keith!
