Five Signs You Might Need to Focus on Emotional Healing

What is emotional healing? It's the process by which you recover emotionally and mentally from a negative life experience. You can't keep tough times from appearing in your life. When you are emotionally healthy and balanced, you deal with those difficult situations that inevitably pop up, and you can move on with your life.

Sometimes, we don't understand that we need emotional healing. That's the problem. You can see if you suffer some injury and have a broken bone. You can certainly feel it. You know you have to get it fixed.

This isn't always the case when your emotions are out of whack.

You might think your emotional responses to your experiences are right and healthy. They may be anything but. Here are five signs you could use some emotional healing to live a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

You Don't Experience a Wide Range of Emotions

You have access to 34,000 different and unique emotions. That's what psychologist Robert Plutchik believed. He stated that most of us only experience eight primary emotions most of the time. These are anger, sadness, disgust, trust, fear, joy, surprise and anticipation.

If only a couple of those are usually present, you probably need more emotional balance. This could indicate that you aren't properly processing situations and human interactions.

Low Self-Esteem and a Poor Self-Image

This is an offshoot of what we just talked about. You constantly look down on yourself. Everyone has times when they doubt their abilities. That's only normal. We recover and move on. The emotionally unhealthy person usually has a low sense of self-worth, even when there is evidence that this isn't the case.

You Have Difficulty Trusting Others

A lack of trust can come from emotional imbalance. You must love yourself and truly believe you can overcome a bad relationship experience, or you'll never trust others.

You Can't Move Past a Negative Experience

Life can be difficult, at times seemingly impossible. It might look like you'll never recover in the middle of the most trying hardship. You will. Don't embrace and hold onto negative emotions. Practice focusing on the great things in your life. Lean on your support network and get whatever help you need if you can't seem to let go of negative emotions.

Constant Anxiety and Stress

Chronic stress is a killer and has been directly linked to many common causes of death and dis-ease. A constant display of stress and anxiety could mean you're not always responding to life but reacting where your emotions are concerned.

There is no miracle pill you can pop to always enjoy perfect emotional balance. You will have ups and downs, experiencing difficult times that hurt you emotionally. But there are other ways.

For you to live your best life and for those that you love, you need to learn to recognise a negative life experience, process it, and then move on. Please consider seeking help if you often display these signs of poor emotional health.
