Journaling and telling my birth story to others really helped me process my traumatic birth with my first son. Then I had an even more traumatic birth with my second (which I didn’t even think was possible) and I’m a year post partum and I haven’t really journaled about it. I’m worry that I won’t remember all the details when I do sit down to tell the story. But I’m equally as worried that I’ll remember too many details.
Thank you for sharing, Delta ❤️❤️❤️ I totally understand the fear of uncovering too many details. I’ve been journaling with the guidance of a therapist who I meet with every week and it’s helped me process out loud what I’m finding in my writing. Cheering you on in your recovery!! ❤️🩹
This is beautiful Ashley. I've on and off journaled throughout life but I never have stuck to it regularly even though I know how helpful it is to find words to capture our experiences. Maybe I should try my own advice...

Thank you, Kathryn! I’m constantly saying to myself “practice what you preach, practice what you preach” 🙃
