The experience offered you pain. That pain was meant to be felt and released. It wasn't meant to be hung onto. It wasn't meant to be identified with. It wasn't meant to be lived from. It was meant to come and go. The pain is meant to be a temporary, finite experience.

It didn't come and go because your mind got a hold of it and did all kinds of stuff with it. That means you're still in pain and you blame it on things that happened 30 years ago. That pain is now self-created.

When the mind doesn't know what to do with a particularly traumatic experience, it offers us mental health issues. It offered me depression and suicidal tendencies. That is also self-created. The mind created that as a way to protect me. The only way out of that was to learn to manage myself within my own experience, deconstruct the pain, and then heal myself from the inside. And that's the topic of today's episode!

Let's talk about self-created pain. Let's talk about how pain causes our minds to protect us via mental health issues. Let's talk about what we can do with that.
