I'm going to share with you some of my top Steps to Healing Emotional Painful Trauma and Reactions. This is a process that everyone goes through at one time or another in their life. However, it can be very difficult for some people due to their fear and their reactions to what's happening. Healing is about freedom from the emotional pain and the reactions that you have to the things that happen in your life. It all comes down to looking at things from a different perspective and learning to release habitual patterns that you have developed throughout the years in reaction to past traumas and events in your life.
Let's take the first step in this series of 10 Steps to Healing Emotional Painful Traumas & Reactions. It is the first step in the emotional release process. You have to first come to terms with the fact that you are experiencing an emotional response (often fear) when you are having a trauma and even if the trauma is not so personal to you right now, that you will probably have to deal with it in the future. If you don't address your emotional reaction, you can't heal.
What does that mean? Well, on one hand, it means that you have to come to grips with the fact that even though what you are experiencing now is not so personal to you now, it will probably be very personal to you in the future. For example, if you are bound and determined to lose weight because you feel unattractive, that's going to impact your life in a way that you may not like at all. But, if you learn to release that emotion and accept that you are not beautiful, then you are free and clear to move forward with your life without any concerns about whether or not other people are going to look down on you or believe that you aren't attractive because of what you are wearing.
The second step to healing emotionally painful traumas & reactions is to learn how to forgive. This is a huge component to this whole process and it has to be recognized as such. If you are holding onto anger or bitterness because you feel as if something was done to you in the past, then you aren't seeing the entire picture. You have to forgive and move on. Even if you were brutalized by another human being, you have to forgive them and never hold grudges against them because it will only dig you deeper into the emotional wreck that you are in right now.
The third step that you must take is to acknowledge that you are human. That you experience emotional pain just like everyone else. And, there is nothing wrong with that! If it makes you feel better to do so, then that's great, but it's not the point.
The last two steps to healing emotionally painful traumas & reactions are very important. First, you have to accept the pain and understand where it came from. Second, you need to forgive them because even though they caused you pain and gave you harsh experiences, there is nothing you can do about it. Third, you have to move on because even after forgiveness, the bad memories will still linger in your mind. It's part of life, unfortunately.
