The Return of my Courage and Confidence


EMOTIONAL INJURIES – TRAUMA

We all know injuries of the body: bruises after being hit, burns when our skin has come in touch with something too hot, cuts when something sharp or spiky has hit our skin… In the same way the body can suffer from injuries, the soul can also be injured. Injuries of the body can be seen. Emotional injuries are invisible and therefore much harder to understand: for the injured person and for others, too. This story is about such an emotional wound. There might be things that frighten you, because they remind you of a hard time? Something making you really sad and you don’t want to talk about it? Other people don’t understand why you don’t feel like doing something you liked doing before? You feel you want to be alone – or on the contrary – you always need someone close by? As you will soon see, this happens to other girls and boys as well! We hope you’re going to like the story!
