Hurt Runs Deep

that comes from rejection, breakups, neglect, bullying, and/or abuse.

When someone yells at us, it hurts.

When someone teases of us, it hurts too.

When someone leaves or abandons us, it hurts as well.

The natural response of many is to block and suppress the hurt

Most of the time, you’re not choosing to block or suppress it.

Your DEFENSE MECHANSIM does it for you.

Sometimes you DON'T even realize you’re hurt, how much hurt you’re carrying, or even how much it’s affecting your life.

Though suppressed hurt doesn’t stay inactive

It affects your life.

The reality is, it RUNS your life!

Emotions like hurt manifest in reactivity and anger.

If you find yourself reacting or getting triggered easily, there’s a good chance you’re carrying a lot of unprocessed hurt.

The more hurt a person is carrying, the less capacity they have to love

Brene Brown says hurt is at the center of most relational conflict.

Dr Helmut Lucero Love says a person’s capacity to love is directly proportional to the hurt they have experienced.

Although hurt leads to anger...

It's the fear that triggers the hurt

Fear comes up to protect us from hurt.

So if there’s fear, that means you’re afraid of being hurt.

If you’re afraid of being hurt, it means you’ve been hurt in life.

The amount of fear and anxiety you experience in life is directly proportional to how much you’ve been hurt in life.

What’s more, hurts come up in simple conversations

If a person doesn’t make eye contact with us, hear and acknowledge us, or respond to us in a way we like, it hurts.

And these hurts build up.

Although we may think of them as insignificant, these seemingly insignificant hurts accumulate, and before we know it, we're exploding.

So notice the hurts you’ve been carrying

Those hurts can come from a mother not hearing you, a father not giving you attention, friend not accepting you, bully being hard on you, boss not recognizing your effort, and rejection, break up, or divorce.

Those hurts build and play into everything you do, including the ability to be fully present in a relationship.

Unfortunately...

The mind is amazing at numbing us from accessing or even noticing the hurt

Since hurt is painful, the mind will PREVENT us from even admitting we have it.

And since it’s difficult to access hurt, it becomes difficult to release it.
