    It is possible to live life feeling like we deserve to be in pain so it can be a reminder of our weaknesses. We "want" this reminder because we think it will help us have the strength and courage to become better. Unfortunately that isn't what pain is meant to do. The pain is an indicator that something might be broken and to do what it takes to fix it as soon as possible. This episode describes the similarities and differences of unseen physical pain and unseen emotional pain, and what healing can look like for both. Healing from a broken bone usually requires an X-Ray, while healing from an emotional injury requires a different perspective of what our expectations are.
