Physical
wounds are easy to spot because we can see them. You can see blood, you can see
a broken bone, because there is physical evidence of the injury. If you were
ever been in a situation like this know how it feels. You experience the
anguish externally. You may even scream or shout in pain and everyone else
becomes aware of everything you are feeling.
But
emotional wounds they are different. Sometimes the experience is completely in
ward. The depression, the anger, the stress, the pressure , the anxiety so much
of that is experienced within. When we
were are dealing with an emotional wound whether some one we trusted break out
trust, or just broke our heart , whether we are just been rejected for something,
we have spent days , months and years working for those wounds are hard to spot
because on one can see them.They are so much harder to see because they have
been hidden or may be we have denied them for so long and they are not apparent
to anyone around us.
When we
have a physical wound like a large cut, we notice straight away that we are
experiencing pain. The next step is to clean out the wound, stitch it up if
needed finally bandaged . we have to make sure that we clean out wound
effectively and the good thing is we can see it so that it does not get
infected.
Healing
from an emotional wound works in the same way apart from the fact that
sometimes, we ignore it for long time. This means it has possibility of getting
infected more and possibility of growing without us even knowing.
Emotional
wounds are just not obvious as blood pouring out of our bodies but they have
familiar signs. It could be the break of
loved ones or abuse from our parents, it
could be an accident, a divorce or an unexpected situation in our life.
The common
signs of emotional wounds are depression, anxiety , isolation and the loss of
determination. Realizing you are wounded in step one, the second thing you need
to ask yourself is, is this something you can deal with yourself or is it
likely that you will need some help?
When it is
emotional wound it’s so easy to really miss the intricacies and the detail of
that experience we have to really live through it again . we have to really
assess and become aware of every part of a challenge.
Cleaning an
emotional wound means revisiting the traumatic event and allowing yourself to
feel that emotional pain again. Its goona be painful, going to be hurtful, but
in order to clean it properly we have to go through it again.
Physical
wounds require stitching when we
physically hurt, its obvious whether we need help or not .but when we are
emotionally hurt it feels like weakness to share with person , to tell people
what's going on. When actually its sign of courage but sometimes with an emotional wound we wait
days , months , years before we approach anyone emotionally speaking, bandaging
your wounds takes time.
It includes
forgiveness, acceptance, and letting go. The emotional wound can leave you
internal scar. We can expect it to just disappear just because we couldn’t see
it in first place
Don't be mad
at yourself if it takes time to heal. Feel every part of that wound and work
trough it.
