Signs you may be holding onto unresolved pain

Not all wounds are visible. As a Reiki energy healer, I’ve learned that some of the deepest pain lives beneath the surface where no one can see, quietly shaping our thoughts, emotions, and relationships. These are the wounds from abandonment, betrayal, rejection, abuse or never feeling fully seen or valued. They don’t leave scars on our skin, but they can create energetic blocks in our chakras, tension in our bodies, and patterns that repeat in our lives.

You may be carrying unresolved emotional pain if you:

1. You overreact to small situations and feel triggered in ways that seem “too much”

2. You struggle with self-worth or keep attracting relationships, both platonic and romantic, that mirror your old wounds

3. You feel constantly tired, emotionally numb, or disconnected from your body

4. You have a hard time setting boundaries or feel like you need to control everything just to feel safe

These are not flaws—they are signs your inner self is asking for healing and care.

When we carry unprocessed trauma, our energy gets stuck. The body remembers what the mind may have tried to forget. Reiki allows us to gently access those deeper layers, without force or judgment. Through energy work, we begin to clear the stuck patterns and reconnect to the parts of ourselves that were pushed away or silenced.

Healing starts with awareness. When you notice yourself overreacting or shutting down, pause. ask yourself, meditate, and journal: What’s really going on underneath this? What part of me is still hurting? This simple act of noticing is powerful. It brings compassion to your inner world and opens the door for energy to shift.

You don’t need to have all the answers. You don’t need to fix it all at once. Healing is a process and a journey, one of returning to your wholeness, one breath, one moment, one loving choice at a time.

You are not broken—you are becoming.
You are not too sensitive—you are deeply attuned.
You are not alone—your healing is sacred, and it’s possible.

If this resonates with you, know that there’s support available. Through Reiki, self-love practices, and intentional healing, you can transform old wounds into deep wisdom—and step fully into the truth of who you are.
