Healing Through Pain

I have recently been going through some physical therapy that involves breaking up 11 years of scar tissue that is a result of a terrible car accident in which my husband and I were hit by a semi. When the accident occurred, of course I had a few injuries, a ton of pain, stitches, and some ugly scars. But, even though the trauma was difficult, we were so thankful to be alive! I did my best to recover, take care of myself, go to doctors and chiropractic appointments. I made it a priority for several months to get back my strength and go on with the life that I was pursuing. But over the years, I have had been in pain, and now discovered that I have scar tissue that is causing this pain.

So, now I am in a therapy that is attempting to break up the scar tissue. I have always thought I can take a lot of pain, but WOW, it really hurts. I look forward to each appointment, hoping that I will feel better, even though I wonder if the process will kill me! I am at the place where the pain is so great that I would do anything to make it better!

I have been thinking about this process that I am in, and I thought of you, many of whom are or have been my clients. Some of you have been deeply wounded by your spouse, your mother, father, sister, daughter, son, etc. In my line of work, I really see that there are so many people that are hurting, usually from the result of someone else's actions. You probably initially went through a process of healing, only to discover that there is some residual scar tissue that needs to be broken up. Some of you avoid dealing with it because it is painful!

Are you in so much pain that you would do anything to heal from it?

Have you avoided dealing with it because of the pain?

I urge you to keep going on the journey to healing. Sometimes you have to go through pain and difficult emotions to reach the place of healing!

Keep going! It's worth it!
