Making Sense: Creating a Story of WHY

Making Sense: Creating a Story of WHY1 oct39 min

Dana Killion learned about her husband's decades of infidelity at the end of his rehab for alcoholism. When he couldn't explain why it happened, she stopped waiting and built her own explanation, a process she calls "creating the story of why." Dana talks with Tim about how that story helped her find closure, why it came before forgiveness, the mantra that kept her from staying stuck, and three versions of a trauma story that make it easier to talk about. Her new book is Becoming Unbreakable: A Big Sister's Guide to Trauma.
