Dealing with pain
"How much immediate or long-term relief do you get from your tendency to escape, avoid, or get rid of the pain?"
This hit me hard when reading the Acceptance & Commitment Therapy guide.
I feel not only entangled in my pain. I am drowning. I have had so many issues over the past years. With many of them, I am feeling as if I am alone.
The last months were excruciating.
Yet, I want to stop the tendency of giving so much attention to my demons.
I want to focus on the good things. On the right good things, which will give me this time the correct way to cope with my pain.
Is there someone on the same path? Would you like to share directions? Ways to deal with pain and self-acceptance?
