Healthy Ways to Process Hurt

1. Hurt can't always be avoided, but it can always be healed - God has the power to heal any wound when we bring it to Him
2. Process hurt with God first - Honest moments with God prevent gossip and allow for quicker healing
3. Don't try to get over what God wants to heal - Avoiding or stuffing hurt limits God's power in your life
4. Healing takes time - Some wounds require a journey of healing, and that's okay
5. True healing brings freedom - The goal is to live peacefully even around those who've hurt you

• Can't stand the thought of someone who hurt you
• Losing sleep or mental peace over past wounds
• Person can't be mentioned in conversation without triggering you
