Even if there is real, current physical pain associated with the scar or injury, you are not required to maintain the emotional or psychic pain along with it. You're not even required to be reminded of the emotional pain, or to dwell on what caused it.
There are plenty of athletes who have lost limbs and experience physical pain, but choose thoughts that work better in their lives than being reminded of old emotional pain that doesn't serve them anymore. That is a choice they are making in each moment.
