I realized through PE Therapy that when I spoke about my MST PTSD I did it in a “police report style” It was very factual. Not a lot of emotions or feelings were expressed in the storytelling.
I have so many people tell me I was so brave to share my story. Not to minimalize I do validate and appreciate when people say that. I do realize though that it makes it easy to tell my story because I am sharing the facts and nothing else.
So its like grabbing that tape from my memory, place it in my brain and hit play. I can pretty much tell that story frontwards and backwards. There was no thought process in it because I have said it over 200 times. I am pretty confident that I can think about grocery shopping or anything else while I am doing a speech. Because I did not have to think about what to say because I had said it so many times before.
So I realized that the Police Report Style is outdated. I need to have some type of emotional connection when sharing my story. I know it will not be easy changing my style of sharing my story but I know it will be best for myself and my audience.
To GOD Be The GLORY. Take Care. Much Love
