be honest with the feelings I was having; •be brave enough to stop the accompanying runaway thoughts, even if I had to say that out loud; •check possible distortions with other trusted friends, my counselor, and with the Word of God; •find a Scripture verse that can speak truth to some part of the memory and apply God’s Word to my thinking; and •process through it until I could find a more healed way of looking at and telling my story.
