“I’ve outgrown my storyline of old.” -SC Laurie
I had just written down this quote and a character on random TV show I had on in the background said something about telling his writing students that a problem on page 20 of their story often says they should look back at page 5 . . .
And I thought, well that’s true!!(Who knew Major Crimes has some deep wisdom to offer?!! 
)
It’s true for writing, and it’s true for us too.
EMDR therapy is based on this idea that if we go back and unwind the memories of our past, we can have a new path forward.
The work of unwinding is tough – what we’ve learned from trauma may be all that we know or think can be real. Yet joy and freedom and love and belonging aren’t just found in myths and fairy tales. They can be our new stories.
I would love to hear your thoughts!!
