God's Healing Process For Emotional Injuries STEP #1 - CONFESSION (OR EXPOSURE OF THE WOUND)
I talk about this at length in other places. But no healing of emotional injuries can take place without it. The first step to any emotional healing is revealing of the wound itself. Much like a child who scrapes his arm and hides it with his hand and bringing the wound as close to the body as possible, so do we have a tendency to do cathe same thing.
Our instincts are to hide the pain as deeply as possible. We ignore what happened, we pretend it never happened, and we try to bury it under a flurry of activity and self deception.

Truth is the exposure of what is hidden. Deception is the attempt to hide something, to bury it, and to not let anyone see it. However, truth is the revealing of what is hidden. Call it confession, exposure, or the truth, it is all the same thing.
Until an emotional wound is brought out into the open, it will not heal. The guilt (infection, if you will) can never be purged until it is. Guilt is the product of either having an emotional wound inflicted on you or by inflicting the emotional wound on someone else. In both cases, criminal or victim, there is emotional trauma that leaves a person spoiled and soiled.
The wound must first be exposed in order to begin the healing process. A mother wants to see the wound first to determine what must be done to cleanse it and ultimately heal it. Any wound with infection in it will never heal. It will only get worse.
Find someone that you trust to tell what happened to you or even what you did. Until you do, you cannot begin to heal.
STEP #2 - MERCY AND FORGIVENESS (CALLING THE DOCTOR)
Proverbs 16:6 - By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the LORD men depart from
