How to Process Pain

Question 1

How do you process pain?

Answer 1

You don’t react, resist, or avoid
You acknowledge it and say it out loud
Allow the feeling to be in your body - don’t try to fix it
write down your thoughts that appear
don’t try to change the thoughts right away

Question 2

when you get the painful thoughts out of your head by writing them down, should you try to change them right away?

Answer 2

No - just get them out of your head and see them without judgement
Notice the emotions those thoughts bring up for you
