No matter how, or why we get hurt, or how badly. I could go on in this vein but it would take a great many pages, and there is something much much more important to be addressed. We encourage the reliving of past experiences because only after this occurs does the mind begin to break free of its bondage to early trauma. Thus, the patient will overreact in the present, and a breakdown of function, to a greater or lesser degree will occur. The child who curled up on a bed while being beaten must curl up the same way to most effectively trigger the experience during therapy.
