How much of your present are you missing for not having healed the wounds of the past?
Recovering from the wounds of the past is indispensable to be able to enjoy the present.
If you do not do it, eventually and unpredictably the all of these wounds will burst into your life and generate intense emotions that will be difficult to control.
Emotional wounds
The wounds of the past can come from several different sources:
- An absent mother or father
- A difficult childhood or adolescence
- Difficulties for socializing
- A love disappointment
- A loss not overcome
- Conflicts in an old job
- Etc.
The problem is that these emotional wounds are still open.
Whenever something, for as small as it may be, reminds you of something that hurt you, alarms go on, and you may even react in an exaggerated manner towards a present situation
But, be aware of this :
Whenever something overwhelms you, it’s possible that :
- 10 % will be provoked due to a current situation
- 90 % will come from a wound from the past
That’s why it’s very important for you to be aware of all the situations that overwhelm you.
Has it ever happened to you that someone said something silly and you were devastated by their comment?
Or, do you avoid discussing something with your partner because you’re afraid they’ll “react just as” your previous partner did?
Are you roaming around life fearful, just in case it hurts?
When the past persists in the present
The fear of repeating past situations and suffering again prevents you from living life to the maximum.
Sometimes, you might avoid contact with others to not feel pain.
Moreover, your emotions overflow due to unimportant things.
And your present will be undermined by irruptions from your past.
That’s why it’s so important to recover from wounds of the past.
In more traumatic cases, the emotions may separate from the situation, and you won’t really know why you simply explode in certain situations.
All this is nothing more than your body warning you that there’s something that requires your attention.
So, take advantage of the opportunity and learn how to recover from past wounds, heal your scars and stop them from hurting.
How to recover past wounds?
You won’t like what I’m going to tell you.
I already know it.
But I can’t lie to you and claim that I have some magic painless formula.
What I’m going to tell you is painful, very painful.
But the only way to recover is to go down to hell, and then come back out.
You’ll have to go through the flames and the pain all over again, but this time, you can do it in a different way.
If you go down to hell and you see your pain and run away from it, the wounds won’t go away, they will stay with you and won’t heal.
They will remain open, and any person who grazes your wound or if you relive a similar situation, you’ll have to go through that unbearable pain all over again.
Because the more you avoid what hurts you, the more it’ll stick to you, like a ballast that prevents you from living.
So this time, when you go into hell, don’t flee.
Stay there and cross the flames.
Feel the burning fire.
Cry.
Scream.
Express all your pain.
Allow yourself to reach the bottom.
And then, something slightly new will happen.
The pain will stop hurting.
The wound will heal.
And you’ll be able to recover from the wounds of your past.
That doesn’t mean that you won’t remember your wounds anymore, because you can’t erase someone’s memory, but remembering won’t hurt you.
So don’t postpone it, because as soon as you heal them, you can start enjoying your life.
And create a different present, to have a different future.
And that past will be the past, and you’ll remember those wounds as something distant.
You can do this process by yourself or accompanied, though I don’t recommend you to do this alone, as it’s a delicate process.
If you want, I can accompany you, you only have to ask. I have already traveled down to my own hell and gotten out of it, so, I know the way!
