Anybody on this site knows that psychological pain can equal or exceed intense physical pain. But that knowledge is subjective. Does anyone here know of any research or publications that address the issues posed by the measurement of psychological pain? Even physical pain is problematic and (to my knowledge at least) can't be directly determined and measured the way all sorts of other things can.
For me, and probably for many, many folk here at PsychCentral, this is a huge problem, because the intensity of the psychological pain I experience is what makes me want to do things to myself.
What techniques, if any, do you use to try and reduce the level of psychological pain that you suffer or have suffered in the past? What has worked best?
