What happens when past wounds are triggered by present experiences?

outcome
"When old wounds are triggered, they surface not to torment you, but to be healed; only in the light of awareness and love can they transform from festering pain into profound liberation."
According to Osho, when present experiences touch old wounds, the repressed pain uncoils and hurts; yet this surfacing is medicinal. If exposed to the sun and wind of awareness, love, and trust, the wound heals; if protected by ego and consolation, it festers into ‘psychological cancer.’ A true guide may cut or strike—sometimes hard—not to injure, but to remove the crust and enable real transformation.
Old hurts can sting when poked, but letting them breathe with honesty and care helps them heal instead of getting worse.
