there is only one cause of emotional pain, which can be summed up in one word: resistance. Simply put, all emotional pain that we have ever experienced, are experiencing now, or will ever experience in the future is self-created by our resistance to our reality. Resistance typically shows up in the form of wishing and wanting something to be different that can’t be. It might be wishing that something did or didn’t happen in the past, resisting something that is currently happening, or worrying (another form of resistance) about something that may or may not happen in the future.
