1. There are memories from my past that I just can’t shake and that keep me from enjoying life to the fullest (old hurts, traumas, losses, betrayals, shattered trust, heartbreak, a broken relationship, sense of abandonment or other painful life experience). They can trigger a mental, emotional, or even a physical response in me. *not at all truerarelysometimesoftenvery true

2. These painful memories cause feelings I don’t feel comfortable talking about (anger, regret, grief, guilt, blame, disgust, humiliation). *not at all truerarelysometimesoftenvery true

4. These issues affect my confidence level. The truth is, I’m outwardly confident but privately unsure of myself. *not at all truerarelysometimesoftenvery true
