I do not know what your knowledge about pain is but I am sure you, many others and I share a similar school of thought at first sight. Let me break it down. Pain could be a feeling you have which is often impossibly to fully express. It can be described as that awful feeling that leaves you uncomfortable, helpless and leaves you with this huge urge in your throat. Irrespective of the cause, most people express pain by crying. However, crying could possibly only bring out just a little fraction of what you truly feel deep within. Others break things, some people become very verbal, some talk to other people, take drugs, smoke or just take time off to be alone. These expressions are intensified by a re-occurrence of flashes of historical moments; beautiful and/or sad and usually which often leave you feeling worse. It often leaves you with these words “had I known”, what did I not do?” or “I wish”.
Whatever the cause of your pain is, your wound deserves healing and it should leave you with a scar that will serve as a beauty mark either to you or someone who sees it. Healing from your pain may take considerable amount of time so you must give healing the time it needs.

Healing from Pain
History has shown that the most painful moments of a person’s life result from emotional pain, not physical pain (wounds). However, healing from both types of wounds needs something in common; TIME and EFFORTS.
Healing from physical pain
A physical wound like the smallest cut on your finger doesn’t heal up almost immediately. Its takes a day or two that’s because a cut results from the breakage of muscle tissue. your immune system needs to assemble all special organ, cells and chemicals to mend the broken tissue After assembling, each of these plays a particular role whose collective efforts mends the broken tissue. This means your physical body employs resources (efforts) and time to health up the smallest cut on your body. So we say that healing a process and every process has a time factor. This is what happens to your physical wounds whose immune system is fully known and understood by science. What will you then say about emotional wounds, whose emotional muscle may be known but who’s immune system is not (well) known?
Your full emotion is often built from a sense of belonging, pride, dignity, worth and confidence. When striped off any of these, you will most likely become wounded. Just like with a physical wound, your emotional wound needs to heal. Meaning you have to employ both efforts and time to help it heal up successfully.
TIPS To help you heal from emotional pain
- Stay calm; staying calm in turbulent situations helps you think correctly and prevent you from saying or doing anything that could make the situation worse. It may not keep you fully relax but it helps you generate energy to manage the situation in the best way possible.
- Do not speak fear your past, be positive about it; because pain is often intensified by sad memories from the past, we turn to fear our past memories and wish that such moments shouldn’t be repeated ever again. We also fear and worry about the unknown as we try to fix our past? Generating positive thoughts about painful past experiences is usually one of the best ways to heal from fear. Yes, It is one of the most difficult things to do, however, with an understanding that healing needs efforts (especially personal efforts) it is very important that you help yourself in making meaning and positivity with the old you, the you who used to be afraid, uncertain, and doubt. Living it the past pulls you behind.

- Oddwyugh Get help; a good support system or a counselor is addition but one of the very necessary measures you will need to help you heal from emotional pain. Know who to should talk, detail explain the course of your pain starting from the origin. Your support system may not know the exact thing to do, but I bet they’ll go and extra mile to help.
- Repeatedly, do things that lights you up; to some it may be music, walks, cinema, watch a movie, shopping, cooking, cleaning, sleeping, swimming, sports just to name a few. They are symbols of hope that you want to be able to do them in but while being in right state of mind.
- Pray; emotions are mysteries you really cannot state their actual origin but they do have one. Pray to whoever is listening, God, Allah, the universe.
Healing takes time. Give healing the time it needs.
