Healing Through Relationships |
 |
When wounding occurs at the hands of another person, our natural
tendency is to withdraw and take on a defensive posture. And why not?
Consider a physical wound. Our body naturally responds by compensating
for the wound and protects the wounded part from further injury by
limping, sending messages of pain when we stress the wounded organ, or
shutting down unnecessary body functions to invest the most energy in
recovery of the wound.
However, these same organs or muscles atrophy into crippling positions
if they are not exercised once the danger for further damage has
passed. |
