I talk to people quite often, even well into their 50's who are STILL so deeply scarred and hurt from the hurtful words of their parents more than 40 years earlier. I would like to think, though, that healing of one's spirit *is* possible! How is the million dollar question right? Well. This will be my next article. I will dedicate it to you. :) PS. I took hiatus this summer and am now in the process of moving the website but I want to answer this because I think it is important. John - you are so right.

Broken bones can heal, but sometimes the spirit never heals from the damage done by someone else's words. Word can hurt even more than sticks and stones.

So if I already “feel” a negative energy from you, trust and know that I [as well as other Highly Sensitive People / HSP’s or psychics or energy readers or whatever] already know how you feel about me. I really do not need for your words to try to send me any “subtle” message.

If you are like me and suffered at the whims of people either making fun of you or overtly going out of their way to seemingly make you feel less than, belittled or odd, then I suggest you spend some time at the Codependent recovery section in that you learn that just because you are different, does not give anyone license to berate or belittle you! Or if you already know about Codependent Recovery but need help with knowing how to respond to some of the words people use, or caustic manners of their speech, I would advise looking at the Words can Harm category or see the Words can Harm. Words can Heal series. [...] […] And just because you may not find the acceptance you want from certain “normal” people does not mean you have to be subjected to abuses by others.

I am glad I am not the only one who thinks it's a nursery lie to try to diminish the power of words by attempting to lie to children that words don't hurt or <i>shouldn't</i>. Words can cause more misery and dis-ease than anything else I can think of. And when used harmfully, it can cause dis-ease to spread faster than any physical form of cancer ever could. Physical cancer rattles our physical bodies. Spiritual cancer rattles our spirit...that uniquely *us* thing that breathes life into our bodies. This is why today I choose to be a messenger of encouragement and hope to everyone suffering from people who misuse words. If we can spread dis-ease, I KNOW we can transmit the opposite! I know we can transmit, health, happiness, tolerance, and peace. Thanks for commenting Ron! :) Absolutely, Ron!

Words can Heal.” and in part 5, I address Gossip from a multi-dimensional angle and I encourage everyone who is the victim of Gossip to read it. I think it is very practical, beneficial, and most of all, it’s based on my own painful experiences and healing from those experiences.

Believe me. If you pass judgement on an alcoholic or potential alcoholic, or shame them, this will feed their alcoholism and provide a great excuse to keep going. Alcoholics deal with their emotions by drinking [it is all they know] and if you’re trying to help them, this would be counter-productive to the goal. [If you need help with learning how to communicate please read my Words can Harm.

However, that is no excuse for hurting others.Some things may be a real blow to a man's ego.But then again those words do not define who you are.
