Maxwell Maltz, pioneer of psycho-cybernetics, observes, “If any ill-fitting shoe rubs against a sensitive part of your foot, the first result is pain and sensitiveness but nature protects against further pain and injury by forming a callus, a protective shell. We are inclined to do very much the same thing whenever we receive an emotional injury, when someone hurts us, or rubs our self-protection. We are very apt to become hardened of heart, callous towards the world, and to withdraw within a protective shell.
Many have inner emotional scars. To guard against future injury an emotional wall is built. A man who has had his love rejected by one woman may take a vow never to become emotionally involved with another woman in the future. The emotional wall that he builds as protection against one women cuts him off from all other women, and from his own self.
Emotional scars also have another adverse effect. They lead to the development of a scarred self-image which prevents one from creative living or being a self-fulfilled person. As it is, women are liked, wanted, acceptable and able individuals. They have a high degree of acceptance of themselves as they are. Most have a feeling of oneness with others. They have a rich store of information and knowledge and are welcome in any social set-up.
