In the early years, I needed to talk about it a lot. Then came a phase when talking made it worse, as if I were digging an even deeper groove by going over the memories. Now there's a balance, and I have enough recovery so that the service of bringing such things out into the open not only helps me, but I am helped by the connections with others.
