Emotional Mastery: Dealing With Unpleasant Feelings

Dr. Sarno was a pioneer M.D. who found the link between repressed emotions and physical symptoms. I find emotions really interesting as we know so many people have learned to suppress and repress uncomfortable emotions from an early age on. I think this is one of the biggest and least talked about things, and especially how it relates to physical issues like chronic pain. Here I wanted share a little TED talk about the wisdom of learning to deal with uncomfortable emotions. Remember, the definition of pain is a ” sensory and emotional experience”. Everyone talks about the sensory side of pain, but how are you dealing with emotional side of pain?
