Emotional healing relates to every human being: no one has a perfect life. You have probably, like everyone else, been hurt or misunderstood, been in conflict or in love, experienced acceptance or rejection, and suffered losses, including bereavement. Most of the time you’re able to dust yourself down and carry on, but at other times certain experiences result in wounds that linger on, negatively influencing your life. Unhealed emotions can result in dysfunctional relationships, depression and physical and mental illness. Unresolved issues and emotional trauma can be locked deep inside your body and mind, creating disturbed bodily responses, emotional reactivity leading to problematic thinking and behaviour. Therefore, taking time to explore your own issues is extremely worthwhile, so that you can release them and move forward. Emotional healing is required when you hold on to memories or feelings that still cause you pain. Your underlying drive as a human being is to seek pleasure and avoid pain. As you transition through many different life events this goal can become easier because you get better at identifying things that make you happy and more adept at avoiding things that cause you pain. You also develop resilience and develop ways to manage your emotions more effectively. Yet certain memories and events may still disturb you even as you face old age and death. Finding a way to make peace with past pain and grievances enables you to heal. This book can help you explore and achieve emotional healing in problematic areas of your own life. We recognise that doing so takes great courage on your part, and we salute you for the step you’re taking in picking up the book. This book will help you free yourself of past burdens, take control of your life and find ways to enjoy aspects of it that you may have had difficulty enjoying before.
