Recognizing Emotional Wounds

Self-diagnosing emotional wounds is crucial for personal awareness and healing. Similar to assessing physical ailments, one should pay attention to persistent feelings of discomfort, such as emotional nagging, tightness in the chest, or preoccupation with negative thoughts. When feelings of rejection surface, especially triggered by social interactions, it’s vital to acknowledge their impact and determine if they require deeper reflection. Identifying these emotional symptoms can lead to better self-care practices rather than merely waiting for them to fade away.
