LOVENJOY,
It is my experience that inner wounds are like outer wounds when they are not addressed; they too get further infected until the pain and disorientation demands attention. Finding the right person to assist me towards healing those inner wounds has made all the difference in my life. I learned that although sites like this one, books, journaling, and 12 step meetings can provide amazing help, it is professional counsel that assists me to find the thorns, pull them out, accept the scars, get freer, and make better decisions for myself in a clearer way.
I hope you find the best answer that will meet what you need in an excellent way.
