Psychological Healing
in the Catholic Mystic Tradition

Emotional Trauma

And Its Psychological and Spiritual Nature

Healing from emotional trauma is a matter of heart and soul to endure the emotional pain of the trauma without fearing it. This endurance really is a “fight” with injustice and evil, but it’s a fight that must be conducted without anger. It’s a fight that is not a matter of getting rid of pain or of hating the pain. It’s a fight to accept the reality of the pain of your past so as to understand it and find spiritual meaning in it. It’s a fight to give the wounded part of you the respect of being understood. It’s a fight to give the wounded part of you a spirit of dignity. It’s a fight of empathy for yourself
