For the individual healing process, what’s more important than the experience itself is the meaning they gave to it. With that meaning, how do they think and feel about themselves? It’s important to help indiviudals get a new perspective on their experience, that will get them to new understandings of themselves.
Say something happened to somebody and they think of themselves as a victim. That is one way to go about the world. Or they can view themselves as resilient, or a survivor. That’s much more empowering. We talk to ourselvs all the time, and can make that talk more healing and connecting.
