Our intimate relationships will exacerbate our wounds. I have yet to meet a partnership where that has NEVER happened. But, and it’s a big but, there are relationships that just poke and prod the wound PERIOD and then there are relationships where the wounds get activated, it get touched — but the people participate in what that activation and touching opens up.
We can’t avoid our way to healing. We must use discernment and judgment, certainly. It’s not about exposing ourselves without any emotional armor, but our wounds need some activation in order for us to write a new story and to have a new experience that offers the healing. What are your thoughts?
