Rock in Your Shoe Reflection

At the beginning of the module, we asked you to put a rock in your shoe. You can take the rock out now. If you didn’t put a rock in your shoe, think of a time that you went on a walk and had a pebble lodged in your shoe and you didn’t stop to take it out. Consider the reflection questions below.

1. What was the experience like for you?

2. How is it like trauma lodged in our bodies?

3. If someone had a rock in their shoe, would we be able to tell?
