Psychological or Physiological, Wounds heal the Same Way

When the wound is deep, it has to progressively heal from the bottom to the top. Trying to deal with the surface first is useless. This is true for psychological wounds as well. Addressing one bad aspect of someone's personality will not completely heal them unless the underlying cause is resolved first. It is important to treat something that is damaged properly, not only to save time but also to decrease the chances for relapse or complications.
