The pain is buried deep down inside our subconscious, where is it well-protected by the inner parent. It’s like putting a bandage on an untreated wound. I’ve been removing layers and layers of protection without realizing that the wound is still unhealed under the bandage. When I’m close to removing the last layer of the bandage, I can see the pain that I have been ignoring for so long and I am scared of my rising, intense emotions.
