I couldn't agree more with this: "Targets reclaim the upper hand when they realize nobody has the right to push delete on their accomplishments and personhood. Healing rests in boldly telling their story, refusing to be silenced, and then clearing a place at the microphone for others to step forward and speak." I strive to cultivate this state of mind as my default setting.
