The Trouble With Pain...

The trouble with Pain is that it blinds you to everything else that is not painful, everything else that is going well, every other blessing that could outweigh the pain.

The trouble with Pain is that it takes your attention away from the solution and keeps you focused on it.

The trouble with Pain is that it keeps you playing over in your memory ‘what was’ rather than trigger your imagination to ‘what could be’.

The trouble with Pain is that it could be crippling, stopping you from walking into your calling and destiny.

The trouble with Pain is that it keeps you thinking of the people that hurt you rather than the people that bless you.

The trouble with Pain is that it fools you into thinking that it will never go away and that you have to live with the scars and memories throughout your life. Yes, that’s another thing Pain does – it tells you a lot of lies.

The trouble with Pain is that it tells these lies so well that you can’t help but believe them!

The good thing about Pain though is that it strengthens you and builds up your muscles of resilience.

The good thing about Pain is that it highlights to you what needs to be fixed.

The good thing about Pain is that you can use it as the fuel that propels you into your new season.

Choose today to use Pain to your advantage.

  We've all heard the saying 'Prevention is better than cure'. It is easier to prevent a situation occurring than recovering from the consequences of a terrible event. I remember when I was scammed by a company in 2019. This company put themselves out there as a coaching company looking for like-minded people to partner with and change lives. Well they certainly did change my life as I was scammed out of a considerable amount of money! They start first by investing in your 'trust bank'. They win your trust so you don't even realise you have been scammed, until you wake up the next morning and as the Nigerian saying goes, 'your eye don clear'! It took me a long while to recover from this incident, a situation which could have been prevented if I was more diligent in looking out for red flags and other 'tell-tale' signs. In fact this is the first time I have spoken or written publicly about the incident. Recent studies show that the average a...

The Emotional Detox website has gone live!  Hello! My name is Emma Emmanuel, the Emotional Detox Coach. A few years ago, following a personal experience, I authored the workbook, ‘Emotional Detox– A Practical 3 Day Process To Healing From Emotional Pain’ (available on Amazon). This workbook helped many on their healing journey, and I saw the need to deliver group and one to one coaching in this area. Using the strategy in the book as a tool, I started the Emotional Detox Program using it to  support and coach people who have experienced some form of emotional pain as a complement to professional medical support.  The Emotional Detox Program uses the Restorative Justice principle of forgiveness combined with a practical process of expressive-vent-writing as a form of catharsis to release negative emotions. The process is completed by destroying the product of the expressive-vent-writing as an action to get the individual to begin to believe that the effect of the traumatic...
