This is a very interesting read. Thank you. I pondered it for quite a while. I have GAD, Panic Disorder, and PTSD. I'm an expert at trying to cover it up when I'm having my daily “rough times” so I don't bother anyone with it. When I can. Sometimes it's impossible to hide. The physical part, sometimes I think it's going to kill me. But since everyone thinks I'm so strong, even nicknamed me Xena, I keep the mask firmly in place. After reading this I wonder if I've mastered hiding the physical and emotional brutality because I'm afraid people won't consider me invincible.
This insightful article delves into the complex reasons why people often hold onto their suffering, as highlighted by Thich Nhat Hanh's observation on the fear of the unknown. It thoughtfully explores how suffering becomes a familiar part of identity, making the prospect of change daunting.
This piece sheds light on the psychological struggle of releasing pain and embracing growth, reminding us of the need for courage and self-compassion in this journey. It is a compelling read that encourages introspection and offers a hopeful perspective for those seeking to overcome their mental anguish. 🌟🧠💡

Debbie we could talk sometime if you like but only if you like and it’s perfectly ok if not

One of your best, and particularly relevant and “change reinforcing” to me right at the eclipse of two painful decisions I know I need to make. Leslie
Great read, Allan. Something I have thought about a lot.
