Reading this with my head I wanted to say ‘but understanding the causes of pain, thinking through the hurt is essential for healing’. Then reading it again with my heart and feeling some of my own hurtful experiences I want to say ‘yes, unless I go to the heart of the pain and feel it again I cannot be healed’. I love the sentence ‘Understanding your wounds can only be healing when that understanding is put at the service of your heart’.
