Healing emotional pain - how our understanding is the key

Psych for Life with Dr. Amanda Ferguson

We can all remember a time when a person or situation hurt us. The emotional pain we feel is in proportion to a lack of understanding – this means when we’re plunged into pain we are typically in shock, confused and have a lot to think through and to comprehend. As we do this, the pain subsides. However, if we get stuck in pain, it's usually because we can’t understand or accept what’s happened to us.
So in this podcast episode I discuss:

• Why understanding lifts our pain
• Different experiences of pain, understanding and recovery in our workplace and personal life
• Tips on how to deal with and resolve pain
