# Externalize and Process Experiences ## Why is this important? Externalizing memories quickly and without much filtering helps me distance myself from those memories and start find solutions to the problems they cause. ## What is exciting about it? When I allow difficult memories to emerge this way, I am able to start working with them. ## What sucks about it? Allowing difficult emotions and memories sucks. It's painful and it makes me sad. ## What is this related to? As an example, here is my [[Work Trauma Realization Process]] where I tried to put out everything I could remember onto the screen.
