When I see patients with years of pain, or even a lifetime of neglect, it is rarely just physical.
I have not yet seen a 100% physical injury.
➡️ Pain may manifest physically in the patient’s experience, yet it is not only one thing. It is a combination and amalgamation of everything that person is.
In the patient who came to mind, there is and was emotional trauma that has never been addressed, seen, understood, or spoken about. Psychological patterns that remain unseen. Emotions, karma, cultural bias, cultural memory, generational trauma, and the constant flow of memory and information coming directly from the family unit.
A tight-knit family unit: unconscious, interdependent, codependent, and loving, with its own beauty and flow.
I never found these patterns challenging to address.
➡️ However, I have observed that they require absolute compassion and kindness in order to open the door for someone who may never have heard of any of these concepts before.
To offer the necessary information in the moment while soothing, helping, supporting, and facilitating their change, healing, and transformation.
In such circumstances, being blunt and honest has to be done in a way that creates minimal internal friction for the practitioner, so as to annihilate unnecessary distress and resistance in the patient. Then it becomes seamless.
There is no point in fighting yourself, or someone else, about something they do not yet know exists or have not experienced.
We all have loved ones, myself included, whom we would like to see do better for themselves. We would like them to see what they cannot yet see.
But that is not the goal.
If you look at someone, look with compassion.
Then look at yourself.
Healing begins when what has been hidden can finally be seen without violence, force, manipulation, coercion, or judgment toward yourself or anyone else.
