How Can We Heal Our Wounds?
Emotional hurts are part of a person’s learning. Sometimes it is very difficult, but you have to know how to cure them in order to look forward with optimism.
How many times have we ended up injured! Wounds are something we must heal, but it can be difficult. His pain endures, and it can make us suffer too much and mark us forever.
Some emotional wounds run deeper than others. Some leave without a trace, but others leave a completely indelible scar. Some wounds will never heal, or so we believed until now.
We think, perhaps, that our lives would be much better if we did not suffer, if they never hurt us. However, this is part of our learning, it is what transforms us, what makes us evolve and learn.
Learn to heal our wounds so that they heal well
Every experience, positive or negative, will mark us, but we always remember with a bad taste in our mouth those life experiences that have marked us for the worse.
Today we will know how to heal our wounds in the best way so that we can learn, so that we can close them and turn them into just another experience of our life.
Our emotional wounds cannot be compared to our physical wounds, but we must treat them as well.
The fact of not seeing it in this way pushes us to ignore our pain, to turn our face to the wound and escape negative emotions. This causes it to become infected, that it does not heal well and that it causes us even more sorrow (in a figurative sense, of course). For this reason, it is recommended that we review what steps we can take to heal our wounds:
1. Where is the wound?
First of all, we must find our wound, the reason for this pain. Instead of looking the other way, look within yourself and, if necessary, speak it up or seek professional help.
Sometimes we cannot find our own wound on our own and need outside help. Don’t be afraid to feel vulnerable, don’t be ashamed! Once found and knowing the reason, we continue …
2. Weigh how serious it is
When we see our wound, we must assess its severity, if it is. Sometimes it hurts more than we think, even sometimes it is a pain that only we ourselves create in our mind.
You have already found it, so now look at it, analyze it to be able to heal it in the best way, to find the right treatment for it. Do not ignore it, assume your wound.
3. It’s time to heal
This is the most painful moment, remember when you have to put hydrogen peroxide or betadine in a cut, doesn’t it sting? Well, our emotional wounds do too.
It is important that we move forward no matter what happens, because it will be a turning point in which we will put ourselves to the test. Sometimes the cure will be to open your eyes to reality, others to put a solution to an unwanted situation, others to cut your losses, others to cry …
4. Last step to heal our wounds: allow yourself to heal
The healing period depends on the severity of the wound. Of course, it will not be something that happens overnight, but it will take time.
It is normal that it costs, it is normal that it still hurts. But you must assume that life goes on, that there is still a lot of good in it. Don’t let your positivity be clouded by negativity. Heal your wound, look ahead and smile.
Do not be ashamed of your injuries, for we have all been harmed at some point. The problem is that we ignore them, we believe that time or distraction will heal them.
It is true that distraction and time can heal them, but only if we have previously approached our wound, we have observed it, we have identified what has caused it and we have closed it. Nor is it a matter of closing it and not returning to it, it is a matter of allowing it to heal so that when it comes back on it it no longer hurts.
Healing our wounds will allow us to become learning opportunities and, above all, to overcome the fear of what has caused them.
Note: if you think you need help to manage your emotions and thoughts, we recommend consulting a psychologist.
