Hello and welcome back to this blog! I hope you’re doing great wherever you are. Today’s content is about healing and overcoming emotional pain. Before providing you some advice on how to deal with your pain, this post will go over the following items:
- Brief introduction about emotional pain.
- Several facts explain how dangerous emotional pain can be.
- Seven tips you can try to start your first step to overcome your pain.
Let’s get started!
There are no right or wrong answers to this issue, and I’m well aware that you can find a lot of information on the internet about how to break free from emotional pain.
And as I write this, I want to highlight that we need to start paying more attention to ourselves because we can’t have a decent life if we keep allowing that kind of emotion to swallow us and keep us hiding in the dark, while we are confronted and struggling to deal with so many stumbling blocks, and we may feel rejected, dejected, depressed, stressed, frustrated, and other negative feelings. But I want you to know that each of us is special, and we must not allow our negative emotions to dominate us.
Don’t underestimate the power of emotional pain. Let me make it simple for you…
Emotional pain causes more suffering than any other type of physical pain. When we are confronted with these two sorts of pain, the effect will be extremely different. The worst effect of physical pain is emotionally traumatic, whereas emotional pain leaves you with so many triggers that can reactivate your pain in the future.
Emotional Pain vs. Physical Pain: How bad would emotional pain be? I’m not trying to scare you, but these are the facts you must know :
Hurt your physics
In so many cases, hurting physics is one way to relieve and reduce the emotional pain. I’m sure you’ve seen or heard about somebody slicing their vein because they were experiencing a challenging circumstance and thought they really couldn’t handle it, and the only way they could think of was to end their life.
Less Sympathetic
People are more sympathetic to someone whose physically hurt than to someone who is suffering from emotional pain. Not everyone understands and is willing to lend their ears to hear your silent tears.
Reactivate
Emotional pain can reactivate the pain that happened a decade ago. And It would never go away unless you decide to break free from it.
Damaging Everything
Long-term emotional pain can damage our health, mental health, personality, and identity.
To deal with Emotional pain, we MUST :
Find the triggers
When the trigger; atmosphere such as rejection, betrayal, unjust treatment, criticism, being ignored, feeling unwanted, and feeling unsecured start to haunt you, you must stop for a moment, take a deep breath, and try to find another reaction that has less of an effect on our emotions.
Trace the roots
Trace the roots; Start with the question, “What makes you feel that way?” and work your way up, and try to believe that not everything you imagined will come true at the way you imagined. Recognize that we have a tendency to overthink things, and you are the one who can decide whether your imagination becomes another burden for you or not, and make sure you remember that no one can predict what will happen.
Be curious
If you can’t find the roots, be more curious and dig deeper and deeper; perhaps the first time you felt emotional pain was when you thought there was nothing in it.
Identify the triggers
You can avoid these situations if you can identify the triggers. If you can’t, try to accept your emotions and draw a clear line between the past and the present. I don’t want you to push yourself to overcome this because I know you need time to heal and maintain your sanity in order to avoid being affected by similar triggers in the future.
Try to find the positive ones
Don’t just look for imperfections or focus on negative aspects or results. It makes you look a bit to be silly, full of mistakes, and broken. The more you try to point out others’ flaws, the more others will notice your true self.
Be Grateful
Make a list of simple things for something you should be grateful for and proud or you can begin by doing something to divert your attention from the painful triggers.
Don’t be pathetic!
If you’re going through bad things, bad moments, or drawbacks and feel like you’re at your rock bottom, don’t keep bringing it up and making people feel sorry for you. What I was trying to say is, don’t bring them up and keep complaining about the same issues more than three times. It drains you, believe me!
I think that’s all that I can share with you for today’s content, look forward to the upcoming ones. I hope it can give you a glimpse of how to deal with it in a realistic way. See you! 😊🤞
