Beyond the Wound – Healing Our Traumatic Past

Psychotherapy and healing from our past wounds and symptoms are more a soulful experience, an appeal to the wounded soul. Our minds and bodies are mere vehicles by which the soul transports itself, and although these vehicles seem to suffer, it is the vehicle that expresses the suffering on the part of our soul or spirit. As we work with patients, we cure wounds of the present moments and injuries that date back in time and even before this lifetime or the last. We are healing wounds of the soul, recognizing that we are not our bodies, that we are eternal beings, having a human experience that has for some gone awry. Opening ourselves to the idea of our souls and spiritual life opens a whole new awareness of who we are and why we are here. We open to an understanding of our wounded selves, and the healing journey is a soulful one. The wounds we need to heal to be our best selves are not only wounds of the present lifetime but wounds that date back years and centuries into other lifetimes when we didn’t exist. So I say all that to say this, and I dare say, to move beyond the wound of life, to move beyond our past trauma, we need to not only be open to how the traumas of this life affect us but how those from previous ones impacted us as well. We are here, were here, and will forever be here to master our purposes, and then at that time, once we live in the service of our purpose for being, life becomes fulfilled and satisfied as you breathe, walk, talk, and die in divine love and peace eternally.
