Whether it's physical pain or emotional pain, healing from our wounds is not a one and done thing. The same is also true for pain from mental and spiritual wounds.
We can do all the work that we think is needed and arrive at a place of feeling healed and even function better for a while. Then something happens -- an event, circumstance, a person, or a situation -- can activate it and we begin to feel that same old familiar pain yet again.
It's normal and natural to want to resist it. Perhaps we think it's behind us and we've grown beyond or past it.
It's up to us what we make of it we can make it mean a lot of things-- that we did something wrong or we didn't do enough the first time around OR we can also make it mean that this is just a natural course of healing.
We heal in community; listen to this episode to learn what to do with old pain.
