> My DBT therapist says that pain is part of life, but suffering is the result of not accepting the pain, fighting against it, letting it get the best of you. So she would say that suffering is not a necessary part of life. I've always found that distinction helpful.
>Yes, I think this is another insightful way of looking at pain and suffering. I've always found that distinction helpful as well. I like how your therapist put it, she must have been in her wise mind. :)
