The Whys and Wherefores of Avoiding Emotional Healing

One might wonder why we would want to avoid healing emotionally. Wouldn't healing of any kind be the best thing for everyone? Surprisingly, there are several reasons why a person might not want to heal emotionally (and physically). These may or may not be subconscious reasons. It helps to become aware of the possibilities so that we "discover the enemy within."

Why We Avoid Healing Emotionally

The biggest reason that a person may want to avoid emotional healing is simply that - a person does not want to face their past. The past can be a loaded subject. Not wanting to face the past includes the following possibilities.

• Fear of bringing up hurt and pain - There may be very hurtful incidents in one's past. A person may feel that remembering the pain will overwhelm them.
  
  
• Not wanting to take responsibility for one's actions - It is much easier to place blame elsewhere than to actually admit that you may have had a part in creating a problem.
  
  
• An unwillingness to forgive - There may be a part of us feeling justified in holding on to anger or a grudge. "That person does not deserve my forgiveness!"

Why Heal Emotionally?

A person may feel that to face the past would be too painful of an experience. My feeling is that the ongoing effort to keep the pain from surfacing and the energy required to deal with the experiences that are being attracted into one's life by not dealing with the past are far worse than the temporary pain that would be felt in tackling the past head on and neutralizing it. One may feel that suppresssion is an easier way to cope when in reality it is much more difficult and often causes a lot of misery with it.

I have learned that there is a huge chasm between a person saying that they want to do something about their life and then actually putting forth the effort of doing something about it. Yes, it requires moving out of your comfort zones. Is it worth it? YES!
