All feelings are meant to be felt. Chronic pain is emotional. The definition of pain is 'a sensory and emotional experience'. A key to recovery is to learn to be open to feeling and acknowledging all our emotions. I call this "feel it to heal it". There is no such thing as a bad emotion- all emotions are all part of the natural human experience. How we really feel needs to be honestly and openly felt and acknowledged, otherwise we trap the feeling in the body and it adds tension and can create symptoms like pain.
