And it becomes part of the narrative.

And keep in mind, there are people who do this, that they say like, I've had a really traumatic experience, but I've learned from it. I've had a horrible, emotionally abusive relationship, but I've learned from it, right? And I don't mean to trivialize anybody's experience who didn't have that thing and they're just traumatized by it and they carry it with them.

Yeah, yeah. And it's all about like because you can re-traumatize yourself. And this is also why rumination is so bad in depression is because you recall a negative memory and that gets you in a negative mood because you pull up the context.
