Breakdown is an opportunity to break through
Injury.
We think the physical kind is different from the emotional or spiritual kind, and in many ways they are.
Soul injury needs as much care and treatment as a broken arm.
Both can be healed.
And the point is healing.
Our origin stories are a form of soul injury. Trauma in childhood (or at any stage of life) needs attending to. To be healed to completion, otherwise the wound will be carried across generations.
If we do not attend to the healing then the story and trauma lead our lives. They shape our whole personhood. And they do so so very well that we do not even notice that we are living in a story shaped by trauma.
Often times a physical injury can be the gateway to noticing the deeper soul injury.
Breakdown is an opportunity to break through.
