Letting Go: Who Will You Be?Who will I be if I let it go?
Most people never say it out loud, but they feel it every day. I once worked with a woman who had been sexually abused by her stepfather. When I told her we needed to clean up the memories, make peace with them so they no longer felt real or true... she looked at me and said those words: “Who will I be without this pain?” That’s the trap trauma creates. Your conscious mind hates the memory… But your limbic brain treats it like a survival skill. It holds on tight, believing the pain will protect you. But here’s the cruel trick: What stays in your brain gets replayed in your life, even if it’s only inside your own head. To the brain, nothing is “bad.” It’s just familiar. It’s just training. But training can be changed. You don’t have to build your identity around what hurt you. You can build it around something good, something you choose. If you’re ready to update the emotional files and stop reliving the past, start with my Free 5-Day Course and learn how to retrain the brain at the root.
