Which type of pain are you accustomed to?

My nightstand book at the moment is titled 'Lessons from the Bedside', by Breda Casserly.

I found myself thinking a lot about the emotional pain discussed in this book.

Psychological pain is often silent, but we know now that it does impact our health and how we show up in the world.

This type of pain can be just as intense—if not more—than physical pain. It’s the ache of loss, the sting of rejection, the heaviness of anxiety, or the quiet despair of feeling stuck. Unlike a broken bone, it doesn’t show up on an X-ray. But it’s real. And it matters.

In my coaching practice, I often meet people who are high-functioning on the outside but quietly struggling within. They’ve learned to mask their pain, to “power through,” to keep going. But healing doesn’t come from ignoring what hurts. It comes from acknowledging it, understanding it, and gently working through it.

This book explores how this type of pain also needs to be tended to.
In an accelerating world run by machines and immediate reward, feeling deeply is a sign of caring, and a sign of strength.

It is a signal—not a sentence. It’s your mind and body asking for attention, care, and change.

Whether you're navigating burnout, self-doubt, grief, or a major life transition, you don’t have to do it alone.

Coaching can offer a safe, structured space to explore what’s beneath the surface and begin the journey toward clarity, resilience, and renewal.

✨ Healing begins with awareness. Growth begins with support.
