healing softens us, how to know if someone is healed, how to know if someone is in pain, how to know if someone is hurting, how do you know when you're healed

August News: Is that person hurting?

August 1, 2025

Happy August! How are you doing?

I talk a lot about wounds. “Are you wounded?” “You’re only feeling that way because you have a wound. When we heal it, it’ll be gone.”

As someone who is here to heal, I see wounds everywhere.

“You’ve got a wound! And you’ve got a wound! EVERYBODY’S GOT A WOUND!!!”

But what does that really mean? And how am I able to see them in people?

Here’s how: I know what 100% pure health looks like. And so anything less than that represents something which can be healed.

That’s a very broad definition, I know. So let’s get more specific.

Start, though, by thinking what “pure health” looks like to you. Is it someone who’s always calm? Or someone with so much love in their heart that everyone they meet is touched by it? Perhaps health is represented by someone whose personality glows from within because they are so at peace with themselves.

Make a list right now—even if it’s just a mental one.

And then, for every characteristic you wrote down, think of its opposite. The opposite of calm might be agitated. Agitation derives from wounding; a hyper-vigilant nervous system, perhaps. The opposite of a loving heart might be a cruel one. Cruelty comes from being hurt; and from never feeling the warmth and acceptance of unconditional love. The opposite of self-acceptance is something like self-hatred. Self-hatred absolutely comes from a painful place.

Right?

So the next time someone does something “less than purely healthy” around you, stop for a moment. Really examine their action. Ask yourself: What would cause a person to behave like that? And then spot the associated wound (or at least give it some of your best guesses).

Did they lash out? If so, then what sore spot got triggered?

Did they try to control you? If so, then perhaps they grew up in a chaotic household, and have only survived this far by micro-managing every aspect of their lives.

Did they diminish you in front of other people? Maybe their parents never expressed pride in their child, and so this person grew up feeling less than other people, and they were therefore threatened by your strengths.

None of this excuses people’s behaviour, of course.

But it lets you see them more clearly.

And you know what else? It lets you see yourself more clearly, too.
