Seeking Pain
Seeking pain, often linked to self-harm or masochistic behaviors, is a complex and deeply personal issue rooted in emotional distress, trauma, or a need to cope with overwhelming feelings. This behavior goes beyond physical pain; it can be a way for individuals to express emotions they cannot put into words, gain a sense of control, or feel a temporary release from inner turmoil. Despite the stigma surrounding these behaviors, understanding the underlying causes is crucial in fostering compassion and supporting recovery.
In this series, you will hear from individuals who have struggled with seeking pain, sharing their personal journeys through the dark moments and the underlying reasons that drove their behaviors.
