Whether you’ve turned a painful past into a product or you’ve just been open with your friends, family or followers, sharing our toughest memories is an important part of the healing process.

Amy has spent a career championing the benefits of ‘Storytelling for Healing’. There is, however, a final part of the formula — one she hasn’t talked about before now.

Talking about trauma, and revisiting our past pain, can be an addictive process and one we grow to rely on for self-worth, validation and a sense of purpose. It can also stopping you from really overcoming heartbreak and enjoying the full freedom of recovery.

So, how can we share our trauma, and then set ourselves free of it?

In today’s episode, Amy discusses:

• How sharing our trauma stories can become a crutch.
• Why we tend to revisit pain when we feel vulnerable or disconnected.
• What Closing the Loop on trauma means to her and YOU.
• Taking back control of who, what and how you share your story.
• Sharing your happiness with as much courage as you share your pain.
• How to really enjoy the freedom of recovery — at last!
