Hey, everybody, it’s Dr. Deb here with PTSD and Beyond. In this insightful episode, I dive deep into the common advice of "sitting with the pain" and why it’s not entirely accurate. We often hear that we need to embrace our pain, but what does that really mean? Through personal experiences and professional insights, I'll discuss why simply sitting with pain can lead to feeling overwhelmed and re-experiencing trauma.
I’ll introduce you to a more complete approach by asking the crucial question: "What is this pain trying to tell me?" We'll explore the work of Dr. Dan Siegel and his concept of "Name it to Tame it," which helps us better process our emotions. I'll share a recent personal experience where identifying and naming my pain led to clarity and a breakthrough, bringing a sense of freedom and peace.
This episode also includes a special poem I wrote during an emotional moment, highlighting the duality of pain and joy and the importance of embracing both. By understanding the root of our emotions, we can achieve deeper self-awareness and healing.
Join me as I share these techniques for navigating emotional pain, achieving breakthroughs, and ultimately finding strength and calm. Remember, we're better together, we're stronger together, and take what resonates and go beyond.
