“One of the first steps in therapy, actually, is accepting that you’ll never be able to erase what happened. Even if you get your revenge, or escape what you couldn’t the first time, or whatever it is you’re after...the trauma will still be there. It’s just a temporary fix. “Because all those little pieces in your head that you’ve been trying to find and fit back together? They’re still there. It’s just that the shapes have changed. They don’t fit like they used to. That picture you had before is gone, and there’s no getting it back.”
