trauma processing
Working through pain
Trauma processing is the psychological work of integrating distressing experiences so they no longer dominate emotional life.
This may happen naturally over time, through therapy, or with techniques like EMDR.
The goal isn't erasing the memory but reducing its grip: She's been in therapy for months, doing the hard work of trauma processing.
