Why do the same injuries keep coming back?

You thought you had moved on. Yet, a word, a silence, or a situation is sometimes enough to awaken the exact same emotion.

You feel rejected, abandoned, misunderstood, or inadequate again. And one question keeps coming back: "Why do I still react this way?"

This recurrence does not mean you haven't made any progress. It may simply reveal a part of you that still seeks to be understood.
