THEME: Psychological Wounds

BY: Fr. Anthony O. Ezeaputa

Sabina is a 30-year-old marketing executive who has a successful career and a loving family. However, her life took a devastating turn when she was involved in a near-fatal car accident. She survived, but suffered severe physical injuries and was left with chronic back pain.

As Sabina struggled to cope with her physical limitations, she began to experience debilitating anxiety and depression. She would wake up in the middle of the night with nightmares, reliving the accident. She started avoiding social situations and became isolated from her friends and family.

Sabina’s psychological wounds ran deep. She felt like she had lost control of her life and was filled with fear and rage. She began to question her self-worth and felt like a burden to those around her. Her relationships suffered, and her career stalled.

Despite her best efforts, Sabina couldn’t shake off the emotional pain. She started to self-medicate with alcohol, which only worsened her depression. Her physical health suffered too, as she struggled to manage her chronic pain.

Sabina’s story illustrates the effects of psychological wounds. The trauma of the accident had left her with deep emotional scars that impacted every aspect of her life.

She struggled with anxiety, depression, avoidance, and self-blame, which affected her relationships, career, and overall well-being.

However, with the help of therapy, support groups, and self-care, Sabina began to heal. She learned to confront her fears, reframe her negative thoughts, and develop coping strategies for her pain.

She slowly rebuilt her life, rediscovering her purpose and passion. Sabina’s story shows that while psychological wounds can be deep and lasting, they can also be treated and healed with the right support and care.
