Do not let the shame stop you from who you are meant to be.

Key Three drops next Thursday. It’s the one I think people avoid the longest, because it asks you to write down what you’ve wanted and never told a single soul. To really look at the weight you carry and if it services the healing and version of you that you wish to be.

Here’s a piece of the newest key.

“Shame says I am wrong for wanting this. It’s not about the act, it’s about your worth as a person, and it almost always came from somewhere outside you, someone who told you a want made you disgusting, too much, not enough, and you believed it before you ever checked it against your own experience.”

Most people carry at least one thing like that. Many carry more than one. A want they’ve never said out loud, not because it’s actually wrong, but because somewhere along the way they decided it made them wrong. These things can feel heavier when trauma is also being carried.

Key Three is where you finally write it down. Full worksheet, the shame and guilt sort, drops next Thursday for patrons.

Key One is still free if you haven’t started. Everything builds from there.

Don’t forget to grab Key Two as well, for patrons. Read more here.

And if what comes up while you’re doing this work is something you’d rather say to a person than a page, that’s what Written Witness is for. You write it, I read it, I write you back.
