psychological healing

Mending the mind

Psychological healing is the process of recovering from emotional wounds, trauma, or mental distress.

Like physical healing, it suggests gradual restoration rather than instant cure: Therapy helped start her psychological healing after the accident.

The term implies that mental injuries are as real as bodily ones and require time and care to mend.
