Pain is healthy: learn to sit with it - Video

Day 5 of this no ejaculation/no orgasm challenge. This is what's coming up:

...I've spent a lifetime running from pain by using substances, distraction, sleep, anger/rage, PNM--you name it, I've used and abused it to dissociate or split off from reality so I didn't have to sit with uncomfortable feelings that made me squirm. Instead of slapping that bee on my nose, my broken mind sent a signal to pick up or use something self-destructive when I was in pain. It became automatic. However, today we can learn to be with emotional pain and realise that it's normal and healthy. Pain may be a way our bodies are telling us something needs to change. Anger is another signal that something is wrong. We don't have to run away from being uncomfortable in our own skin today. Just for today...

Bless you all,
