Wounded people make decisions from their woundedness.I said this last week to my friend as she was processing out loud why someone very close and special to her did something that clearly sabotaged their relationship.
As they tried to work through the breach, she relayed what I said. The truth of the statement landed so resolutely in the other’s heart and nervous system that she immediately agreed to seek therapy for herself. A lightbulb moment.
My friend said she’s been thinking about her own woundedness and how it’s affecting her. It’s helping her put into context why she thinks and feels the way she does and how she makes decisions that limit her in life. It was a lightbulb moment for her as well.

Healing our woundedness is a necessary step and opens us to more consciously hear and feel our intuition and messages from the Divine.
Psychology and Spirituality are never far apart.
Woundedness can be little accumulated ouchies along the way or as deep as trauma. They separate us from love, self-love in particular.
Think about the last decision you made. What was behind your choice, your reason for doing what you did? Ask yourself again and go a little deeper. A little more.
There is no shame here. Emotional healing is a daily occurrence.
Just when you think you’ve got it, Spirit sends you something fresh, a new lesson for your healing pleasure.
Next time you think a thought, feel a feeling, or decide something, ask yourself, is this coming from a place of self-love?
Live your life through that filter.
With Love and Gratitude,
