• A key to helping stuck images working out what the worst meaning is to you.

• It’s often very painful and not necessarily accurate because your brain has picked the worst possible thing it can think of in the scariest moment of a memory.

• We need to help your brain get unstuck from this moment.

• Review if there are any important pieces of information missing from your understanding of the worst moment. 

• If you think about what we know now to be true (you might have some ideas from your responsibility pie-chart) this might be quite different to what you thought then.

• For example, Riley realised from the responsibility pie-chart that weather and the driver were responsible.

• Sometimes it is helpful to ask other people what they think as well.

• Gathering as much evidence to re-consider your worst meaning will help you work with your memory.
