Mindfulness and self-compassion

People often feel trapped by their situations and the way in which they remain focused on past hurtful experiences. This stops them from living in the present and moving forward. Focusing on emotional wounds and re-living past hurtful events keeps them “stuck” in a painful state of mind. This affects their health, well-being, self-esteem, relationships, jobs, and decision-making ability. People in this frame of mind have limited coping ability. They may be confused about why they encounter very similar painful situations over and over again.
