The difficult but important truth is that you can’t heal until you acknowledge your pain, your fear, and your shame. You can’t heal until you stop hiding your negative feelings and stop pretending to be happy when you are not.
You have to be authentic to be happy. You have to take off your mask and be real. You have to come out of the closet.
Pain is a wake-up call. Therefore, feeling and acknowledging your pain is the first step in the healing process. Anything that prevents you from feeling your pain and discovering its source is an act of denial. It is an attempt to ignore the call of your heart and soul to awaken and heal.
All addictions/compulsions are a form of denial. They anesthetize your pain or help you escape from it. As long as you are an addict, you won’t feel the depth of your pain, and you will have little incentive to heal it.
