Part 7

Running memories and pictures on in your head: Stuck pictures

 

A key to helping stuck pictures is doing detective work on the worst meaning.

  • It’s often painful and not true. Your brain has picked the worst possible thing it can think of, in the scariest moment.

  • We need to help your brain get unstuck.

  • Are there any important bits missing from the worst moment?

  • Think about what you know now (you might have some ideas from your pie-chart).

Riley realised from the pie-chart that weather and the driver were responsible.

  • Sometimes it helps to ask others what they think.
