Natasha Bedingfield has released a moving and heartfelt track called
“I bruise easily” and sings that she wants to be “handled with care”.

As the lyrics suggest, all of us can bruise easily when we open ourselves up to a relationship. The trouble is, life is made up of relationships whether it be with family, friends, partners or children, they all make or break our world – and how
fragile that world seems at times!

Here at Connect, we see many people who have had their world broken or damaged and although most of the bruises they sustain are emotional ones that cannot be seen, they are, nevertheless, just as painful.

But there is hope. It is possible to heal and move on, to develop and change. Counselling can sometimes be a way of finding a way through life’s problems.

From the feedback we get from former clients – it can make an enormous difference. We may not be dealing with physical injuries but the pain and desperation is just as real. The following quote is used, by permission, from a client who actually describes her emotional hurts in a physical sense;

“After months of hard, intensive soul-searching where raw wounds were opened up even further, I can finally say that I am leaving you with only a few sticky plasters. The scars, I know, will remain, but the searing pain is now a manageable dull ache. Connect, like an antibiotic, has enabled me to heal.” _but antibiotic leaves a horrible aftertaste_danGz

i hear it singing from ur heart and it hurts so much to noe its as painful for u as it is for me
thank u for sharing this beautiful song with me

_sad yet beautiful_like the sunset

______:: i bruise easily ::_______

My skin is like a map
of where my heart has been
And i cant hide the marks
its not a negative thing
So i let down my guard
drop my defences down by my clothes
i'm learning to fall with no safety net to cushion the blow

[Chorus]
I bruise easily so be gentle when u handle me
There's a mark you leave
Like a love heart carved on a tree
I bruise easily
Cant scratch the surface without moving me underneath
I bruise easily
I bruise easily

I found your fingerprints on a glass of wine
Do you know you're leaving them all over this heart of mine too
But if i never take this leap of faith
I'll never know
So I'm learning to fall with no safety net to cushion the blow

[Chorus]

Anyone who can touch you
can hurt you or heal u

Anyone who can reach you
can love you or leave u

So be gentle...

[Chorus]

I bruise easily
I bruise easily ..
