Please note that remembering certain events does not mean that those events caused your injury. These journaling tasks are merely designed to help you to process memories of your injury experience. Acknowledging and writing about what happened when you were injured will allow you to file the experience away in your memory system without suppressing it.
Describe how your injury happened. What was the physical action that led to the injury? Include details about what you felt physically at the time of your injury.
