When the Heart Holds Silent Pain: Unspoken Wounds from the Past بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ There are wounds we carry that no one sees—memories we never found the words to express. They live in the corners of our hearts, silently shaping how we feel, how we love, and how we show up in the world. Recently in a counseling session, a sister courageously opened up about painful experiences from childhood—family conflict, grief from losing loved ones, and even unspoken violations of trust that happened at a young age. For years, she kept these memories buried, unsure whether they even mattered anymore. But as life moved on, those buried emotions began to resurface—through anxiety, emotional numbness, and difficulty forming safe connections. Unresolved trauma doesn’t just disappear. It waits. And when life gets overwhelming—like a sudden move, a job change, or isolation in a new place—those old feelings return, asking to be seen, heard, and healed. So what does Islam say about emotional healing? ❤️‍🩹
