Theoretically it's all traumatic memories. I got a bit fixated on shame.
But I don't know that it would be any more acceptable to me no matter what it was. If I had a childhood full of trauma, for example, I don't think I'd want to remember every trauma and make a list or draw little pictures or symbols. It seems rather demeaning of my experiences. Maybe that's just me.
Tabitha described listing everything related to one topic, and I might take that better since it would be more related to what was going on with me at the time. Dredging up memories seems so artificial to me, and I don't see how I could express them in a way that was meaningful to me, in a way where my mind and emotions were connected.
