When I’m in the whirlwind of high emotion, writing my SFD in the form of a letter, or even fantasizing about what I’d like to say to someone, can help me get clear on the story I’m making up. As I mentioned in Chapter Three, “Owning Our Stories,” the value of writing and storytelling came up in the research, but it wasn’t until I thought about this particular story that I connected it to myself. It’s nice to know there’s some constructive use for all those conversations and revenge schemes I rehearse in my head when I’m lying in bed at night.
