Is there really such thing as emotional healing?

Answer 1

I was emotionally hurt from my brother, he was using drugs and alcohol while he was a teenager and continually lied to me, telling me he would do things for me that never got done, disappeared for days at a time with me crying, looking for him, even catching him shooting up heroin one time. He stole from me. He entered rehab at the age of 18 and has since been clean and sober. I have healed emotionally through poetry and talking to him about what he did to me. I no longer feel the hurt of my early teenage days, the hurt I felt until I healed emotionally, even after he was out of rehab. I would definantly say emotional healing is real, otherwise I would be a mess.

Answer 2

Yes. And we have probably all experienced it.

Have you ever been involved in an emotionally damaging relationship, and eventually gotten over it? How about events or relationships in your upbringing that you have worked through?

Most of the time we actually heal ourselves through our own psychological resources, with a little (or a lot) of help from our friends and loved ones. To a certain extent even time heals. Over the months and years, and with all the intervening experiences, the bad memories fade, and fortunately so.

So in many cases our damaged emotions heal, and we rise renewed from the ashes of our past traumas. And when we are unable to accomplish that healing, we can seek help from mental health professionals who are trained to speed up and facilitate the healing process.

So take heart. One way or another, emotional healing can and does occur.
