Guided journaling prompts

• Write about a negative belief you have that you know is false.

The time that Robert Young tried to drop us kids plus his own kids off at a vacant lot that was scary. Well at least for me it was scary. I was 3 to about 5 years old at the time. I know that it was on 11th street.  All I remember was that it was a vacant lot on the corner of 11th street and a donut shop was right across the street.  I don't know if Becky Young was in the car or not.  Another time Becky Young borrowed mom's car which was a thunderbird at the time and she picked me up from preschool for a couple.  Maybe Becky Young's car was being worked on in the shop.  

• Write about if and when you've downplayed your traumatic experiences.

?

• Write about one thing you wish your loved one understood about you.

I wish that when I was 5, I wish that I could have had selective mutism treatment to overcome it a lot.  

• Write about the ways trauma has impacted your behavior and thinking process.

Well I guess it had made me angry and I didn't know how to express it properly and in safe ways as I had selective mutism.  I spoke when comfortable.  Like when I was 3 I told my uncle Max if he was comfortable. but I said it like a three year old said it um... I couldn't say words properly at the age of three like three year olds do.
