We will rotate the same emotional reactions with different people until we can see that it is not the person we are reacting to, it is the emotional pain that we carry from the initial wound.
The replay of our anger, jealousy, hate and distrust are all emotions that resurface with different people because they stem from a wound in our past that was never healed. We place blame on people and situations for our feelings and outbursts of negative emotions but in truth, we can only place blame on our self, for our uncontrolled reactions that stem from our old unhealed wounds.
We cannot change what happened in the past but the past holds the key to why we react negatively … In looking at what caused our initial emotional pain we can see that it is the” feeling” from our old pain that continues to surface and not the initial situation or person in a new form.
If you dissect that old feeling to find the cause, you can then use that feeling as your guide to know if the feeling is connected to the current situation or the past. It is through that awareness that an old wound can truly heal and a new wound from an old feeling can be prevented, because your view of the now is clear.

Beautifully written. I love the way you are precise with your descriptions.
thank you so much! I appreciate you reading it and sharing your kindness and thoughts.
Exactly- and we are held captive to our negative thoughts and emotions until we forgive and let them go. Imagery helps me do this because it is the language of the non-verbal, illogical emotions.
I just love how you can put so much wisdom into such a succinct post.
It’s great!
A lot of times old wounds are indeed not healed, we only mask the feelings or convince ourselves that we don’t care and either catch a rebound or catch a negative attitude without full recovery.
Amen! Thank you for sharing!
Blessings.
