writing a memoir about my trauma (being in a student-teacher relationship)… is it a healing process writing out my experiences or is it damaging? am I writing for me or for others to read?

It is one thing to process memories of trauma, but it is an entirely different matter to confront the inner void – the holes in the soul that result from not having been wanted, not having been seen, and not having been allowed to speak the truth.
"The Body Keeps the Score: Mind, brain and body in the transformation of trauma" - Bessel van der Kolk
