Is healing process that much different for either?
Physical pain comes in many forms. It can be as minor as a scratch or a bite of your own lip. It can be as complex as multiple broken bones or reoccurring lung cancer.
Emotional pain can be as simple as the resulting feelings from an insult or being ignored. It can be as complex as years of emotional abuse or the loss of someone close.
Recently, I recovered from some minor back pain. In the beginning, I tried taking dugs. At one point I was taking 5 Ibuprofen at a time. All that did was temporarily relieve the ache. Further, it totally screwed up my digestive system. So then I decided two incorporate a simple two-step plan. One: stop doing the thing that was causing the pain (how fucking brilliant!). Two: completely rest my entire body. Guess what? After two weeks, the pain went away (well almost completely).
Now the trickier bit: the emotional pain. I had a bout with this as well. For a while, I pretended that things were okay, but the pain was always coming back. Then I figured out that I had to get away from the source of the pain. When I removed myself from the situation, I was able to finally sort some things out. In this particular case, I couldn’t do it on my own; I had the help of others. Is the pain completely gone? No, but I know what I have to do get over it.
For me, emotional pain is so much more difficult because it usually involves others. Others who will help you, others who will leave you scarred or you will scar. But time always seems to heal my wounds. Whether they are physical or emotional, that always appears to hold true.
