“The deepest psychological wounds are hidden from the conscious mind”
— Gabor Mate
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes we have emotional pain that we are not even fully aware of. These hidden hurts can come from experiences in our past, especially when we were children. For example, you might have had a parent who was very critical, and now you always feel like you are not good enough, but you aren't sure why. This feeling can affect your life in many ways, such as making you afraid to try new things or causing you to feel anxious around others. To heal these hidden wounds, it's important to explore your feelings and understand where they come from. Talking to a therapist or a trusted friend can help you uncover these deep issues and find ways to address them. By facing these hidden hurts, you can start to heal and lead a happier, more fulfilled life.
