What is "Inner Pain"?
A universal part of daily life is loosely called "inner pain," as in "Pat
is in a lot of pain now." Few of my therapy clients have been able to explain what their "pain"
is.
Premise - When you can clearly describe your
inner discom-forts, you're better able to
what you
to reduce them.
Infants and adults live each moment somewhere in a range between delirious, joyful, thrilled, and blissful, through "numb"
to awful, despairing, horrified, terrified, hysterical,
and agonized.
From this, inner pain is an umbrella term for one or more
specific uncomfortable emotions. These may cause or signal physical
discomforts:
Popular core causes are significant
regret, and remorse;
horror, or terror;
confusion or
sadness; despair (hopelessness); frustration,
disgust; aimlessness; "emptiness," and loneliness (lack of bonding and/or
purpose); disappointment; and helplessness. Nam-ing current specific
discomforts enables you to (a) learn which
bring them to you and
(b) work
to satisfy their needs so their (your) discomfort recedes.
