How Unhealed Wounds Hold You Back
An encouraging push from a professional
To anyone hesitant to address emotional wounds or seek professional help, Holcomb says, “It is human to feel bad and in a dark space when things hurt us. You do not have to numb yourself or pretend to be okay when you are not. Believe in your ability to recover. Allow yourself the grace to fall apart, knowing that you are literally wired to pull yourself back together again. Your tear ducts were not created by mistake. This is our body’s way of releasing that built-up emotional tension. Hurt cannot hold you hostage unless you give it permission to. You free yourself when you feel.”
