As an injury heals, it itches. No matter how great the urge, do not scratch it.
Scratching it feels pleasurable in the moment, but it stops the healing and reopens the wound.
Ignore the itch. Heal.
The same applies to past hurts. As you heal, there is an itch in the mind. You want to go back there and scratch away. No matter how pleasurable in the moment, you will only reopen wounds that will hurt even more.
Ignore the itch. Heal.
