Recognizing our trauma wounds and retraining our inner core to think and respond differently is essential in recovery. Many wounds are harbored in our subconscious thinking. Any new wound that mimics an old wound or trauma gives us an exaggerated emotion and we revert to core destructive emotional patterns. Many wounds develop in childhood and are left untreated. Betrayal, abandonment, rejection, neglect, abuse, misunderstood, unstable environments, unstable relationships, sexual abuse are a few deep inner wounds which could create exaggerated emotions and stunt emotional growth. These wounds fester and create feelings of internal chaos. Children do not have the emotional structure to handle these wounds. This is where unhealthy core patterns develop. This book will assist in developing emotional maturity skills of being responsible to identify and heal our inner wounds. We will explore mental prisons, mind control, carnal/spiritual mind, and carnal/spiritual heart. Retraining inner emotions changes our thoughts patterns and develops new core patterns of love, joy, and lasting peace. These emotional skills can give us the strength to pursue lasting recovery.
