How much energy does it take to suppress debilitating pain?

Because pain needs to be witnessed to process it, suppression doesn’t work to resolve it.

To process pain from grief, to get to the other side of pain, we must move through it.

Trying to ignore, sidestep, or hope it will just go away prolongs pain.

• Suppression requires engaging in behaviors that make it harder to process pain if and when we make that decision.

These behaviors also tend to negatively impact All aspects of our lives.

If you bite the bullet and acknowledge and engage in pain it won’t annihilate you.

Instead, it shows you exactly where to go, psychologically, to heal.
