Whats the best way to get over a mentally scarring event?

1. Be patient with yourself. Emotional wounds take time to heal just like physical ones. 2. Understand that this to shall pass. Life is full of seasons of joy and at times sadness but knowing that it's temporary can help us get through the rough times. 3. Reach out for support. Coming to a place like 7 cups or talking to a trusted mentor or counselor can really help. In fact people who can simply talk about their scarring experiences are less like to later suffer trauma later on. 4. Take care of yourself. It's so important to remember to stop and nurture yourself when you are stressed and wounded. It's important to stop and try to enjoy the small things life has to offer even when it's hard to relax. You'd be surprised how much the smell of a rose or lavender oil can help calm your mind and bring you back to the present moment.
