How do you process your pain? We all experience traumas - big and small - over the course of our lives. And we all deal with them differently. A painful event can often feel like a physical location - a topography stretching out ahead that needs to be traversed. Some may sprint across the landscape while others crawl - I've sometimes found myself believing I've covered real distance, only to realize I've been walking in circles. But the journey - however it is made - is a substantial one. Writer and documentary filmmaker Jay Shapiro opens up about how he has managed - and manages - his terrain.
