When I am flooded with pain, physical pain, I am aware of the fear being present while I wonder when the pain will stop, when am I going to be able to function without pain and do things, what can I do etc, then the fear of all of I mentioned prevails and it’s difficult to sit and observe and acknowledge and allow.
It’s a very complex topic. Few responses: understanding themselves, gaining trust in their own abilities to handle life, as well as the structures of society.
