Emotional Wound Analogy

Let me tell ya what I know about wounds. The deeper
they are, the more problematic a bandaid becomes.
Sure, it seems like its protecting the wound, allowing
it to heal, protecting it from infection. But what if
the infection is already in there, and now its trapped
with a covering to keep things moist and warm for
further breeding. The sking starts to scar and heal
as skin does, but the wound still lies benieth, not
having the chance to properly heal from the inside
out. Sometimes it continues to grow deeper and deeper
in the tissue, while looking ok from the outside and
confusing the person who cant figure out where the
pain is comming from.

To really heal a deep wound, you have to get in there,
behind the bandages and clean it, regularly, to
prevent infection and keep the tissue healthy as it
heals. Sometimes a temporary bandage is useful. but
it cant stay on and the wound may need some debreeding
there after to get rid of the scar tissue and get back
to the healthy tissue needed for really good healing
from the inside out.
