Deal with pain properly

Deal with pain properly

from Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb

How to Apply This

  1. Acknowledge your pain. Recognize that your pain is real and that it matters. Don't judge or minimize your feelings, and resist the urge to compare your pain to others. Validate your pain by accepting it without judgment and giving yourself permission to feel it.
  2. Identify the root cause of your pain. Take the time to explore and understand the underlying causes of your pain. This could involve examining past experiences, exploring current relationships, or investigating physical or emotional triggers. By understanding the root cause of your pain, you can begin to address it directly.
  3. Explore healthy coping strategies. There are many different ways to cope with pain, and it's important to find what works best for you. This might involve seeking help and support from a therapist or engaging in activities that make you feel better.
  4. Practice self-compassion. Be gentle and kind to yourself as you work through your pain. Remember that healing is a process and that progress may come in fits and starts. Practice self-compassion by treating yourself with the same kindness and understanding you would offer a dear friend.
