The weapons you once used to simply survive must be put down so that you can fully live. #survivalmechanisms #survivalmode #survival #selflove #selfcare #selfcompassion #selfprotection #recovery #healing #cptsdrecovery @elwingbling - The tools of survival and protection can become the tools of destruction • the silence, the distrust, the guards, the coldness, the hyperawareness, the fear, the rage may have helped keep you alive when you lived in unsafe and unstable environments, but now that you have escaped, they will hinder and even destroy your attempts at building the life you want and need • look at what you’ve gone through and survived, recognize tools and weapons you’ve developed and carried, see the wounds you still bear... accept them, see that they are of the past, and speak them to rest https://www.instagram.com/p/BzkUI1KAf9X/?igshid=1r9wd35fp5qhr

What If Humans Didn’t Feel Pain? A Scientific Breakdown

Have you ever wondered what happens if you can't feel pain? Pain is more than just discomfort; it's the most elegant survival system of all. In this video, we will examine in detail the hidden consequences of living without pain: from the first unrecognized injuries to silent infections, skeletal damage, and long-term behavioral effects, using real clinical cases, neuroscience insights, and genetic discoveries like the SCN9A mutation. We will find out why pain is not punishment, but an important signal that protects the body and teaches the brain about risk, empathy, and decision-making.

What Happens If You Can’t Feel Pain? The Hidden Dangers Explained

Have you ever wondered what happens if you can't feel pain? Pain is more than just discomfort; it's the most elegant survival system of all. In this video, we will examine in detail the hidden consequences of living without pain: from the first unrecognized injuries to silent infections, skeletal damage, and long-term behavioral effects, using real clinical cases, neuroscience insights, and genetic discoveries like the SCN9A mutation. We will find out why pain is not punishment, but an important signal that protects the body and teaches the brain about risk, empathy, and decision-making. We look into the promise and risks of modern medicine: how drugs, anesthesia, and emerging technologies try to control pain, and the ethical dilemmas of artificially turning off the body's most honest alarm system. If you ever thought about what happens if you cannot feel pain, this video gives the scientific answer. Learn how pain shapes our bodies, our minds, and our social bonds-and why it might be more important than we realize.

Quote on Recovery

From "Beyond Codependency" - Melody Beattie - Chapter Recovery, page 14

" We address ourselves, and recovery with a sense of forgiveness and a certain gentleness towards ourselves. We begin to understand the behaviour we've used were survival tools. We've been coping. We've been doing the best we could. We've been protecting ourselves. Some recovery professionals suggest these behaviours may have saved our lives.

"If we hadn't protected ourselves, we may have given up or developed a fatal illness and died. " says Bedford Combs.

Whether it is a compulsion to care take, control, work, or eat pecan pies, compulsive behaviours initially are about stopping pain. We beging to realise what we've been doing: trying to stop the pain. But we begin we understand something else too. Although compulsive behaviour may help us temporarily avoid feelings or problems, they don't really stop the pain. They create more. They may even take on a habitual and problematic life of their own."
