Free Zoom Webinar - Moving from Pain to Change in Building Sustainable Relationships and Resolving Conflict on Tuesday, 23 January @7pm.

From the moment we are all slapped on the backside and cry to prove we are alive, we all experience at various periods of our lives different types of pain - physical, emotional, spiritual, mental anguish, bereavement, grief, stress, conflict and worst of all agonising toothache!!

Nobody except maybe a masochist likes to experience pain. And if pain is the highlight of your life, then you probably have a few issues that you should probably take a good look at.

Pain is something we all have an intimate relationship with throughout the course of our lives. None of us like it, we all try and avoid it if possible, and when we experience it, it can drive us to distraction, desperation and even despair. The three D’s of Pain!

And we then try and find a remedy for the pain without perhaps pausing to think – why does Pain exist? 

Because according to Darwin’s theory of Evolution Pain must serve a purpose within natural selection and Evolution of the species.

People who can’t feel pain are said to suffer from Congenital Insensitivity to Pain or CIP. We may think that pain challenges our lives but people with CIP are challenged every bit as much if not more than the rest of us, because they may not know when they have been hurt and therefore don’t know that they need to fix something before it might kill them.

Pain in and of itself is not in fact a good or a bad thing.

It is in fact an information and feedback system telling us that something is not functioning, broken, out of kilter, not working, needs fixing.

But there is a further problem in our relationship with pain.

For when we experience it, we try mostly in our modern cultures to suppress the symptoms rather than treat the causes.

And indeed often in conflict we try and offload the pain by blaming others for ours and returning the pain inflicted with interest.

More pain doesn’t lead to less pain.

Who knew?

Pain is telling us one thing and one thing alone.

Change.

Listen to the pain don’t fight it and listen to what it is telling you to change at fundamental level.

Healing begins with listening not with taking a pill.

And deep listening can lead to finding the remedy that lies within.

In this free this free Zoom webinar we shall be exploring the function of pain and how we can listen to and learn from it in all our relationships and find the remedy that it requires to improve the quality-of-life experience for all those who may be experiencing that pain so that it doesn’t get worse but better!

All are welcome.
