Numbing

February 15, 2018 by Schawn Austin Leave a Comment

When we have experiences that are overwhelming and traumatic we can push the feelings down, deep into our darkest corners. This can help us get through the nearly impossible. But here's the problem: We can't turn off the bad feelings without also turning off the good ones. It's like there is only one switch for feelings and we loose out on the joy, satisfaction, wonder, pleasure and all the rest of those wonderful good emotions when we turn off pain, hurt, shame, and all of those painful awful feelings. Running around in life all numbed out may hurt a whole lot less, but it's also really bland. Without the joy and wonder of the positive feelings it can be hard to really love life. Here's the good thing: There are more than two options! Numb or hurting deeply are NOT the only two options! It is possible to heal the hurt, even really HUGE PAINFUL hurts and feel the full spectrum of emotions again!
