Sometimes when I feel an emotion or physical pain, I tell myself it isn't real until it goes away. I tell myself I'm perceiving something that my brain created after years of subconsciously studying others' behavious and emotions, and then tell myself I don't have to accept the reactions that those people have always accepted. Once I get to that point, I can easily turn off what I don't want to feel. With physical pain, its similar. I just repeat to myself that it is just synapses firing in my brain, and I can turn down the emotional effect caused by the pain. If I tell myself it's not real and there is no such thing, it goes away and I stop feeling.
None of it is real. It's just a chemical reaction.
love, Leah
