How do you hide from hurting?Time for Exercise: five to 15 minutesProperties Required: noneSteps:Identify any strategies you use to dull, deny, avoid, orsuppress emotional pain. The first step for healing emotional pain isto allow yourself to feel it.Once you have identified what thepain is and where it comes from, you can take action to heal it at itssource. Common pain-avoidance strategies include:improper/excessive/addictive use of drugs; other kinds of addictivebehavior (e.g., with food, sex, power, and violence); obsession withcontrol; wild outbursts of anger, disproportional to the events orcircumstances that triggered the anger; excessive talking; avoidingsocializing with family, friends, and neighbors; quick judgments aboutthe inadequacy, incompetence, and insensitivity of others; excessiveshyness; avoiding all emotional discomfort; seeking pleasure above allelse as the only important aspect of life; rigid inflexibility onissues where there are different points of view; trying to win at anycost; never admitting you are wrong; never admitting you made amistake; never admitting when you don't know; and never allowingyourself to cry.Identify your pain avoidance strategies, including when and how you use them, and what you use them for. Once you have identified pain avoidance strategies, the next timeyou are tempted to use them, stop yourself, and make a consciousdecision to allow yourself to admit to yourself that you are hurting,afraid, or in pain. Allow yourself to feel these sensations fully. Look to the trigger, source, or cause of the pain and ask yourself these questions: "How can I heal the cause of this pain?" "Is there any change in behavior that is required on my part?" "Is there some apology I need to make to someone?" "Is there something I need to ask for from somebody?" "Is there some way I can relinquish my attempts to control the situation?" "Is there someone I need to forgive?" "Do I need to forgive myself for something?" "Do I need to allow myself to cry?" "Do I need to talk to someone?" "Do I need to seek some form of therapy?" "Do I need to record my struggle in a personal growth journal?" "Are there changes I need to make in my life?" Expand on answers to the last question above by consideringspecific areas of life: where I work, where I live, who I live with,who I socialize with, how I spend my free time, and how I take care ofmyself (eating, sleeping, drugs, alcohol, hygiene, bad habits, watchingtelevision, exercise, meditation, prayer, memberships, volunteering,helping others, handling money, saying "no"). Comments:Although pain and hurt are unavoidable for anyone who is reallyalive, suffering is unnecessary and avoidable. The cause of sufferingis the failure to deal with the cause of pain. Suffering only exists inthe absence of healing.We encourage you to allow yourself to feel everythingnot only thegood feelings but the bad ones as well. The way to deal effectivelywith bad feelings/negative emotions is to heal the cause. It is neitherhelpful to suppress or cover up your hurting nor to pretend you arewell when you are really in pain. Denial of pain only increases yoursuffering.Excerpted from our new book Sensual Love Secrets for Couples: The Four Freedoms of Body, Mind, Heart and Soul, by Al Link and Pala Copeland, Llewellyn, 2007
