Buried Belief
- “If I heal, I will have to feel what I have spent my life avoiding.”
- “If I let go of the wound, I will not know who I am.”
- “My pain protects me.”
- “If I heal, others get away with what they did.”
- “Staying wounded keeps me safe.”
- “I am afraid to become someone new.”
- “My wound gives me an identity.”
