Some literature and articles say sit in the pain and work through it and don’t ignore it. But, others say redirect your thinking to something else. I want to face the pain head on and work through it and process it so I can get past it but I also don’t wanna keep the pain alive I continuously thinking about it. I hope this makes sense.Sections: Rick's Q & A timeRick's QuestionsRL_Category: Emotional RegulationFor The Hurt SpouseIntrusive ThoughtsQ&A Recovery LibraryRecovery FundamentalsRL_Media Type: Video
