The art and science of healing has always intrigued to me. We share a bitter-sweet relationship. Healing has been an integral part of who I am, and how I see myself few years down the line.
Over the course of this long bitter-sweet relationship with healing, I ve come to know of, and experienced, several myths that we tend to fall for, in our quest to heal. Thereby, several times, choosing to take a left turn and not heal our selves at all.
Starting this post, over a period of 1 month, I intend to write about the myths of healing that I have come across, and my perspective on them!
Myth 1: Time Heals Everything
"Time doesn't heal anything. It just teaches us how to live with the pain..." - Unknown ... and then when that aspect of life reaches a full circle, the pain is worse than every before!
Have you ever noticed repetition of negative patterns in your life? Wherein you find yourself, having to deal with similar patterns of pain, time and again? You have already dealt with them before, and you are confident that since you have dealt with them, you have dealt with the worse, and now you will be able to deal with anything. But that doesn't happen, and you again find your yourself struggling to deal with a similar pattern.
Sounds familiar? This is exactly the reason we need to "heal", and not just "deal" with the situation at hand.
More often than not, we choose to "deal" with emotional pain/trauma, by taking the root of escapism or suppression. Wherein, we choose to distract out thoughts, and suppress out pain, by external stimuli, till it stops hurting. This is the "time heals everything" kind of feeling.
What we fail to understand is this:
While our conscious mind is confident that the worst is over, and we will never find ourselves in a similar situation again, our bruised sub-conscious mind is still fearful of going through the same pain again. Simply because, the thought, the memory, and the pain hasn't healed...its just been suppressed in the depths of your sub-conscious mind.
And we all know that our sub-conscious mind is way more powerful than our conscious mind. Your thoughts (innermost, and most honest thoughts) make your reality.
This is how your unhealed self leads of manifestation of your fears, in the form of negative patterns.
So yes, time doesn't heal anything. YOU DO. You do, by wanting to heal. You do, choosing to heal. And you do, by making consistent efforts to heal.© Copyright – All rights reserved - Sounds of Solitude by Rupali TyagiOriginal link
