Health/Chronic Pain
If you live with chronic pain, then learning how to live with it can help reduce symptoms of severe depression and/or anxiety, which can impact one’s ability to function at work, school, and in relationships. The pain can also impact our spirit and create disharmony within, affecting our ability to connect to our inner-self or higher power. Some would even say that when we learn how to cope with chronic pain, we learn how to overcome the chronic sense of fear and learn how to feel safe in a sometimes unsafe world. For some, physical pain is a fact of life but the emotional suffering that’s associated doesn’t have to be. There are steps to take, within your power, to make a difference in the ways your pain makes you feel.
