The fear we carry inside

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

The Exaudi publication examines the nature of internal fears, such as memories, guilt, and unresolved wounds, that persist even when a person appears to have returned to normal life. The text notes that individuals often continue with work, school, and social plans without having processed past experiences.

The article suggests that avoiding questions about past events can allow these experiences to occupy more mental space. It uses the story of Kat Elliot, a teenager marked by loss in the production Wendell & Wild, to illustrate how past events can change how a person relates to others.
