Gina Goldfeder explains that many people carry emotional wounds from childhood, but to cope with them, they often put on “masks” that hide their pain. These masks help them function, yet the unresolved wounds continue to influence how they feel, behave, and relate to others in adulthood.
Even though these early hurts impact adult life, Goldfeder emphasizes that not all is lost: when these wounds are worked on consciously, they can become a powerful source of strength and self‑knowledge. Healing is a long process that requires personal commitment, but it begins with a key step: acknowledging that the wounds exist.
Only by accepting that vulnerable part of ourselves can a genuine healing journey begin—one that, over time, allows us to live with greater wholeness and authenticity.
