Not all pain is processed and felt the same.

Pain is a negative emotion we want to be able to feel. It's part of the spectrum of human experiences.  Feeling pain honors us and others. It is the opposite of love, belonging, connection, and acceptance, which we also want to feel and so there is a balance.

However, suffering is something we create with anger, shame, resistance, self loathing.  Other negative emotions that stem from thoughts or beliefs that you or someone else or reality is bad, wrong and shouldnt be the way it is.

Of course, how you think of the circumstances and events and people in your life is going to influence whether you feel the pain cleanly or if you are adding layers of suffering (dirty pain).

Even if you aren't currently experiencing pain or grief, listen in for future reference or to better understand people in your life.
