What can cause emotional pain?
Pain is sometimes an indication we need to set boundaries, learn to say no more often, or take better care of ourselves.

Our power comes from realising we don’t need to act on pain; and if we need to diffuse it, we can channel it into something healthy and productive, like writing, painting, or doing something physical.
You can feel the pain and know it will pass. You can sit in the discomfort and wait before acting. There will come a time when you feel healed and empowered.
Using the phrase “just get over it” means someone’s feelings are being ignored. As well as not working, it will harm them and stop them sharing their feelings in the future.
