Emotional Wound Healing Counseling

Everyone on the planet has emotional wounds in need of healing. If you grew up, lived in any type of family, went to school, didn’t go to school, had siblings or didn’t have siblings, were a teenager, and physically matured; if you ever were sad, scared, anxious, depressed, uncomfortable or have felt any other emotion during your formative years, then you can benefit from Emotional Wound Healing.

Our thoughts create our feelings. Feelings can be appropriate or inappropriate to a situation. Unfortunately in most modern cultures, we don’t have useful processes where we, as individuals, learn to appropriately deal with our feelings. Many feelings are labeled unacceptable. And since humans feel many feelings despite them being “unacceptable,” we do not learn, in the natural course of growing up, how to deal with them. We hear things like “Suck it up,” “Boys/men don’t cry,” “Crybaby,” “Get over yourself,” etc.

All feelings are acceptable, but acting from those feelings usually is not appropriate and does not serve us. If you are angry and have no appropriate way to deal with it, you may feel like kicking the cat. But when you don’t feel angry, you adore the cat, your sweet companion. So even though you feel like kicking, it really isn’t the behavior you want to follow up on. And if you kicked the cat, you would probably feel worse because you would hate yourself for doing it. You need a way to discover why you are angry, and to find ways to deal with and then move beyond the anger. It is not only anger, but depression, anxiety, fear that may have you acting inappropriately, or even in inhuman ways.

If we learn to deal with feelings in a mature way when we are adults, we still need to heal the emotional wounds from the past. If we never learn to heal as adults, then we will find ourselves often acting inappropriately, or even acting inappropriately all the time because we don’t recognize how we feel and if we do, we don’t know what to do about it. We all know or have met people who are angry all the time, sad all the time, a victim of everything in their life all the time, etc. They weren’t born that way. But if their emotional wounds are never healed, they will always feel stuck that way.

I work can work with you to heal your emotional wounds, which if left unattended may result in PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), depression, anxiety, physical illness or symptoms, or other crippling emotional or physical disorders. Together we will discover the source of these emotional wounds whether they are from childhood trauma, rape, molestation, incest, emotional abuse, physical abuse, or the wounds of war or other tragedies you have experienced. I will help you move into a whole new way of being, by looking deep within rather than looking outside yourself for answers to emotional wound healing.

Emotional Wound Healing Counseling is one of many Healing Services that can be used in Family Counseling and general Counseling.
