What happens when we try numbing our pain

It’s crazy, but we try so hard to numb our emotional experience. When we numb our pain we aren’t dealing with it, we’re allowing ourselves to dissociate from the emotion and then continuing to do whatever it is that’s causing the pain. Pain should be one of our biggest teachers! Stop avoiding the pain and allow the pain to teach you what’s ok and what’s not ok to continue doing ❤️
