Avoiding Pain

What pains do you avoid experiencing? Are you aware of them? What are the core issues that make you sad or angry? What are the behaviors in others that you react to strongly?

 Children find a way to survive their transition to adulthood.

 

Each child may have experienced a different pain.

 

As an adult, the inner child is doing his/her best to avoid experiencing their childhood pains.

 

One adult child is avoiding the pain of criticism and being wrong.

 

One adult child is avoiding the pain of unmet needs.

 

One adult child is avoiding the pain of failure.

 

One adult child is avoiding the feeling of abandonment.

 

One adult child is avoiding the intrusion by others.

 

One adult child is avoiding the uncertainty of things.

 

One adult child is avoiding the sense of limitation.

 

One adult child is avoiding the sense of vulnerability.

 

One adult child is avoiding the feeling of separation.

 

Avoidance keeps us in chains.

 

Break the chain by embracing your avoidance.

 

Embrace what angers you the most!

 

Be driven by love not avoidance.

so true, we always use avoidance, and rarely do we reach acceptance.

as a child, the only pain i was concerned with was the absence of god ...

There are so many types of pains. Much as we want to avoid it, it is still there within us. Your advice on embracing the pain and not have it bottled inside us is good. Sometimes we just have to do that to meet the pains head on, and then gradually let it lose. There's no easy way, but admitting it is there within us at least we woukd realize what is causing the pain. Sound advice with this poem.
