Hurt can be part of your healing

This is very true. As you may have heard me say before 'Its not what happens to you, but your response to it that is important" When you view your past experiences including hurts, as part of your learning, you can then draw on them as lessons. Some of the most powerful counselling sessions I have facilitated, are ones where I have disclosed something vulnerable to my client. This allows them to connect with me, knowing that I too have had hurts. They now trust that I do understand their pain because of this. When we use our own hurts to help others the power of the pain is taken away and replaced with a new understanding of why you had to go through the lesson yourself.
