Why is our psychological care above all else?
Have you ever had any injury to any part of your body? Do you remember your reaction to this hurt?
There is no doubt that you rushed to treat this harm before it got worse, because we know very well that neglecting our physical wounds leads to their inflammation, which will make matters worse. But what about psychological harm? Do we deal with it in the same way? Or do we rush to hide it and turn a blind eye to it?
Psychological harm is no less important than physical harm at all, but for the most part, since it is invisible to us, that is, unlike physical harm, we constantly ignore psychological harm, and we are not aware of the magnitude of the impact of neglecting this harm and our constant ignoring of it, knowing that every time we ignore it, the matter increases. Difficulty and complexity.
