Living with chronic pain means learning to dismiss the natural instinct to fight the pain;
To instead, be willing to experience diminished control, vulnerability, and limitations;
To entrust ourselves: to navigate with trust rather than intellectual certitude;
To be faithful in our garnered experience, to keep on keeping on.

Highly sensitive, empathetic people tend to carry a heavier emotional load.
This over taxes the sympathetic nervous system, which if not balanced / recharged, causes increased wear on the body, even serious health consequences.
