How to Deal with Emotional Pain: Four Keys to keep it from stopping your life

Emotional pain, whether from an argument, a loss, a break-up or a traumatic experience, can feel just as intense as physical pain, and sometimes more so.

Physical pain stops when the actual injury fades, but emotional pain can linger for years and even decades as you relive the event and the feelings it brings up in you.

“Physical pain sometimes has a true organic cause that needs to be handled by your body while emotional pain is purely the creation of your mind, caused by holding onto a story or memory from your past,” says Hale Dwoskin, CEO and director of training at Sedona Training Associates.

Yet, both physical and emotional pain can be relieved in the same way.

“If you release your feelings about the physical pain, it either lessens or disappears,” Dwoskin says. “Releasing on physical pain also allows your body to respond to the message in the pain and begin the healing process. When you release emotional pain it can disappear on the spot no matter how long you have been experiencing it.”

If you’re ready to let go of emotional pain in your life, and want freedom to be happy once again, here are the best tips to follow:

Use The Sedona Method to Release the Emotional Pain. The Method teaches you how to truly let go of the feelings that are keeping you from being happy. The Sedona Method is so effective at relieving emotional pain that Marci Shimoff’s (Sedona Method graduate, featured teacher from the bestselling book and movie, The Secret, and bestselling author) new book Happy for No Reason discusses the Method in detail. In Ms. Shimoff’s book, you can read renowned actress (and daughter of Ernest Hemingway) Mariel Hemingway’s touching story of overcoming emotional pain and fear with The Sedona Method.

Nurture Your Body and Mind. This means eating right, exercising, getting plenty of sleep and taking time to relax. These things will help support your emotional healing.

Get Support. Surround yourself with people who are positive, and who you can talk to openly. You can also find support by “releasing” your thoughts into a diary.

Accept the Situation. Part of letting go of emotional pain is letting go of your resistance to it.

“The simplest way I know to let go of emotional pain is to let go of wanting to change what happened and recognize that what’s done is done,” Dwoskin says.

You’ll find that once you’ve accepted the situation, releasing the negative feelings you’ve been carrying around becomes much easier.
