Refusal, abandonment, humiliation, betrayal and injustice are the wounds that prevent us from being ourselves.
When we are born we all, without exception, have the same mission: to live experiences to be able to evolve.
As long as a situation is lived in non-acceptance, in the sense of guilt, in judgment, in fear, the human being will continue to attract circumstances and people who will make him relive that same experience.
This is the path that our Soul has chosen to be able to evolve, to resolve conflicts that it brings with it from other incarnations.
This life therefore represents the best opportunity to resolve these situations and finally be able to continue on his path of Love.
Refusal, abandonment, humiliation, betrayal and injustice are the wounds that prevent us from being ourselves, they condition us as they cast a shadow over our life by preventing us from seeing the true purpose of our existence.
They determine many aspects of our character because, to survive these wounds, we react by wearing masks that allow us not to relive that pain.
We only wear the mask when we want to protect ourselves.
Wounds and masks are closely linked.
The inner wound can be compared to a physical wound that has been present for some time and has been neglected to heal.

This mask also makes those who suffer from it become a great perfectionist, and makes them experience a lot of anger, impatience, criticism, intolerance towards yourself. It is very demanding, and does not respect its limits. Whenever you keep yourself in check, hold back or are hard on yourself, it is a sign that you have put on the mask of the rigid.

Transformation of masks and wound healing
There are more ways in which you can let go of the masks we adopted as children . if you want we can see them together
You will feel, experience and see that:
The wound of Rejection is on the mend when you take more and more of your place, when you dare to assert yourself. Also, if someone seems to forget that you exist, you can still be comfortable. There are far fewer situations in which you fear panicking.
The ABANDONMENT wound is on the mend when you feel good even on your own, and seek less attention from others. Life is less dramatic. You increasingly want to start new projects and you can continue even if others do not support you.
The HUMILIATION wound is on the mend when you take the time to check your needs before saying yes to others. You take on much less, you feel freer. Stop creating boundaries for yourself. You are also capable of asking questions without feeling disturbing, if not a pain in the ass
The betrayal wound is on the mend when you no longer experience so many emotions when someone or something disturbs your plans. You let go more easily. I specify that letting go of it means to stop clinging to the results, to stop wanting everything to happen according to our plans. You no longer try to find yourself in the center of attention. When you are very proud of yourself following your undertaking, you can be at ease even without the recognition of others.
The wound of INJUSTICE is on the mend when you allow yourself to be less of a perfectionist, to make mistakes without getting angry or having a sense of criticism. You allow yourself to show your sensitivity, to cry in front of others, without losing control and without fear of the judgment of others.
