Manage episode 392008186 series 3543279
What goes on in the mind and in the healing when a person walks the same streets where trauma occurred. Returning to these places can trigger positive and negative emotions. Sometimes, revisiting a place tied to distressing memories can help us gain understanding or find a sense of peace. Sometimes it shows how far we have grown since the event occurred. Ann’s visit to her dad’s grave, for the first time after 20 plus years, came when she wanted to share him with her kids.
Denise is working on a book that took her back to her childhood area. She spoke with teachers and was feet away from onf of the home she lived in, with her mom. Listen as the pair discuss how revising places of trauma can impact our lives and possibly bring healing and closure.
The pair also discuss how trauma impacted major life choices. Ann shares a major decision she made when she was told she could HAVE her childhood home. She shares a hilarious story that reveals another side and also talks about a year that she has never discussed before on the podcast. This episode is very revealing as they reveal how walking the same streets might help find strength for some, while others may need to distance themselves, to heal and grow. Reflecting on our emotions can aid in processing these difficult memories.
