The enemy loves reading your old texts back to you. God already deleted the thread.

Shame works by rehearsal. It returns to material that has already been dealt with and replays it at night, in your own voice, which is what makes it so convincing. The claim here is that the record has been closed on one side and only your memory keeps reopening it, and that distinction matters because one of those you can actually act on.

When the replay starts, say plainly that this has been settled, and then do something with your hands. Tell one trustworthy person the thing you keep rehearsing. Secrets lose most of their volume when spoken out loud.
