Pain

During our lifetime, we experience various traumas, both physical and psychological. Certain traumatic events seem to be affect us more than others. Anyone who has experienced pain knows what it feels like. It can be a strong, intense pain or a more dull, limiting pain triggered by various factors. Everyone experiences pain in different ways. Chronic pain that has no explanation, but affects you on many levels, is extremely draining. There is a lot of research in this area and there is nothing to say that the pain you feel today will always last.

Pain warns that there is an injury in the body and can be of several types. It can be the result of damaged tissue, nerve pain, pain caused by mental illness, or it can have no obvious cause.

Pain should not just be ignored or masked. Pain is a complex experience that involves multiple areas of the brain over time. Living with chronic physical pain is, as I said, extremely energy draining and has a negative impact on our quality of life. Psychological pain is when the soul hurts, which can transfer into feelings in the physical body. And physical pain can similarly be experienced psychologically. They are correlated. It is important to understand where the pain is coming from and act from there. Not all pain is visible on the outside, but regardless, pain is almost always felt on the inside.

  • Mental pain

    In the past I have chosen not to write about this topic, but because I find it so central and important, I have decided to try to put into words what mental pain can mean.

    Pain, whether physical or mental, is felt and experienced in different ways. It is often difficult to describe pain in words. I would describe pain as an effect of trauma. These are feelings that usually hurt your soul because of something specific that happened and/or affected you. It could be losing someone you love, an assault, prolonged periods of unbearable stress, being in physical pain or some other trauma. Common to all traumas is that not only can trauma haunt the mind, it can also affect the nervous system. Our nervous system learns to cling to trauma as a survival mechanism. This is why we often feel anxious and on guard when we anticipate another traumatic event (Levine, 2010), leading to debilitating symptoms included in what we call post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
