🌈 Signs of Wound Healing
You'll know your wounds are healing when:
Rejection Wound Healing: You feel comfortable being authentically yourself. Others' opinions matter less than your own self-acceptance. You can say no without guilt and yes from genuine desire.
Abandonment Wound Healing: You enjoy solitude without feeling lonely. You can love others without clinging or controlling. Independence feels empowering rather than scary.
Humiliation Wound Healing: You receive compliments gracefully and allow yourself pleasure without guilt. Your needs matter as much as others'. Self-care becomes natural rather than selfish.
Betrayal Wound Healing: You can trust appropriately—neither too quickly nor holding back completely. You delegate and collaborate with ease. Vulnerability feels brave rather than dangerous.
Injustice Wound Healing: You accept imperfection in yourself and others with grace. Spontaneity brings joy rather than anxiety. You focus on progress over perfection.
🚨 When to Seek Additional Support
While self-healing is powerful, some wounds may require professional support. Consider working with a trauma-informed therapist, healer, or coach if you experience:
- Overwhelming emotional reactions that feel uncontrollable
- Dissociation, panic attacks, or severe anxiety
- Self-harm thoughts or destructive behaviors
- Inability to function in daily life due to wound activation
- Trauma memories surfacing that feel too intense to process alone
