Do You Ever Feel Guilt & Shame from Living in Chronic Pain?: The Pain Companion Chapters 5 & 6
It doesn't make sense that I would feel guilty and ashamed from living in chronic pain, but I did. I began to feel wrong for not being able to fix myself, to heal, and to stop the pain. In this video, I read Chapters 5: Pain's Emotional Traps and 6: Guilt and Shame from The Pain Companion, and talk about these difficult feelings. I also describe my Technique for Releasing Difficult Emotions, and ways to let go of feelings of shame and guilt around pain and how to replace them with self respect and self honoring.

The Pain Companion: Everyday Wisdom for Living With and Moving Beyond Chronic Pain is available at all fine booksellers. https://amzn.to/3j2TLeS Do You Ever Feel Guilt & Shame from Living in Chronic Pain?
