What Pain Requires to Heal

In order to finally heal my chronic pain, I learned I had to turn my ideas about healing pain on their head!

At first, I tried to push pain away - that's natural - but it wasn't leaving, it took up residence in my house like a wounded animal - hurt and growling in the corner.

A different approach was in order. Instead of trying to force pain to leave, I came to understand that it requires a different kind of attention - a kindness, an understanding, a patience - just as I would offer an animal or child in pain.

I finally understood that the way I treat my pain is, ultimately, reflective of the way I treat myself.
