3. CHALLENGE STUCK POINTS. From the Army Resilience Directorate: When we
experience a chaotic or traumatic event, it’s hard to accurately
understand what happened and not place blame on ourselves. We tell
ourselves stories to help make sense of the situation. Those stories
help us reflect on who is accountable, and attempt to understand, grow,
and move forward. These stories, or beliefs, can also hold us back and
keep us “stuck” in how we understand the event.   Stuck points are
beliefs about yourself, others, or the world in general that are
exaggerated, often negative, and not 100% accurate. https://www.milsuite.mil/book/docs/DOC-1056290
