Well let me explain some. A psyche bruise is when someone says or does something that directly effects you emotionally to the point that what that person has said or done (Usually behind your back) shocked you to your core to disover it.
Lets say you are a man and you are having a serious first time discussion with your wife as to why you never had children after being married for so long. It usually sparks this kind of conversation right after some other emotional event like a funeral.
People begin to think about life and life choices at funerals. Suppose the wife says something akin to, "I didn't want to have your children" or, "I may have had children if I had married someone else but not with you" and suppose when she said this to you, you felt something different, deep, and it hurt you to hear what she just said to you.
Your psyche is bruised now. Now it could be argued that your reaction is not her problem. It's your choice. There is some truth to this but you make choices and you live with them but can you always stop a reaction emotionally that is so deep? No! You can't.
What happened in that event is that the man's psyche was bruised to discover that his wife may have had children with another but she didn't want his at all. From his psyche it had to radiate outward in the body and manifest somewhere and a couple months later the disease from that reaction shows itself in the form of prostate cancer. The emotion, the pain, the bruise went straight to his reproduction chakra and destroyed it causing disease as the emotion radiated outward to hit him hard right where she struck him at the core of his ability to procreate.
Lets say it's a man cheating. The wife finds out through the grape vine that he is not just cheating but that he likes men and has cheated numerous times with other men, to get movie rolls, to get satisfied at some strange hotel in a strange city? It doesn't matter she finds out and is devastated. The bruise to her psyche from this emotional event tears her up and goes straight to her mothering parts of her body having to do with security, and nurture, and home, and it diseases her breasts and a few months later she dies of breast cancer, or ovary cancer or some other woman part that the bruise has radiated out ward to manifest into.
John Travolta did this to Kelly. A few months after discovering what her husband had been up to behind her back, what he had to do to get rolls like the one he got in Pulp Fiction and more were all dirty and sexual and she had no idea of any of it!
It tore her up to find out John had been seeing men for years and was not the man she thought he was at all and in record time she got ill and now she is gone. Now you know why!
It's the same thing as diagnosis shock when a doctor tells someone they have stage four cancer. They go home, make themselves worse and die and then the family gets a call that the diagnosis was wrong they didn't have cancer at all but the diagnois was believed, the psyche bruise happened for real anyway and it killed the person regardless.
This is psyche bruise! Avoid it anyway you can. Perhaps being aware of it is all you need to help combat the results of when it hits you!! One of the easiest ways a person is bruised in the psyche is to discover that their spouse is cheating. Be careful of your emotions when you probe your spousal behaviors and have that wall up just in case you see or discover something shocking yourselves!
