CAN PAIN BE MEASURED? / PAIN INVALIDATION

So it would be wrong of me to say, your problems are relevant. And whenever you're talking to somebody about their emotions, about their experience, I feel like it's very important to hold space no matter what's going on. You can't just chalk it up to, oh, your problems aren't that bad, or, oh, my pain is so bad, you can never understand. We humans are all connected. And even though your version of experience may sound horrible on paper

When people try to compare your situation to worse situations, it never helps. Can u Realate?

So it's up to that person to describe the pain and own that pain and seek out assistance for that pain and then go to the appropriate resources to get that. That was another thing that I had to put in my mind as well
