It's Not True Anymore. It's Just History. #shorts
This is a very intimate part of therapy.
You get to be in someone's world
and help them maneuver their world
into a place where they're happier.
A place they have freedom.
A guy said to me:
"You know more about me than anybody on the planet."
I said:
"Yeah. I do.
But the nice thing about what we talked about —
it's no longer true anymore.
It's not real anymore.
It's just history."
That's the piece many people don't understand.
You've been going to talk therapies.
You've been rehearsing the story.
You think you have a great lesson behind it.
I'll tell you —
you're just painting a conscious pretty picture.
What's behind the picture
is the true story.
The parts you don't want to look at.
The parts you don't want to deal with.
You want to paint over it
so it'll hopefully disappear.
It doesn't disappear.
A saying I have is:
"Memories buried alive
never die."
They just come back
in a different pair of shoes.
Usually bigger.
Usually uglier.
By the way —
that goes for good memories too.
Good memories buried alive never die either.
They show back up in a bigger, prettier way.
You don't have to rehearse
what happened to you a long time ago.
The past doesn't even exist.
It can become what it actually is now —
just history.
