- You have to want to heal
This may sound ludicrous. I mean, who wants to stay upset? However, it is easier than one realizes to get stuck in the victim position.
Wanting to heal also means that you are taking responsibility for your recovery, that it is no longer someone else’s burden for your pain. This is very difficult.
Commitment is required to want healing. You have to know that there will be days you won’t want to deal with your past, putting you in uncomfortable and trying states of mind.
