Step 1
Many psychologists believe that it is almost useless to deal with your fear, including fear of pain. This is not surprising - the more a person thinks about something, trying to control himself, the more it absorbs him. It is worth trying to analyze your inner world, to understand what you are really afraid of and why. You may be terrified of a particular type of pain. It can be different: physical, mental pain, or maybe you are afraid to see the pain of family and friends.
Step 2
Try to answer the question, what is your fear of pain related to? This will help you discover the source of your problem. There is no need to dwell on the absolute suppression of fear. You need to take your emotions for granted, as part of your inner world.
Step 3
Let's say you decide to radically change yourself, for whatever reason, you just need to reduce your fear of pain. You can use other, stronger emotions to achieve your goal. Answer the question for yourself, what is stronger than fear of pain? Perhaps a sense of responsibility, anger, or a wild desire to achieve your goal will help you.
In ancient times, warriors suppressed fear of pain through a great desire to win. Pride, striving to be better, an attempt to assert oneself … Each person, of course, has his own maximally strong emotion that allows him to dull everyone else. Take advantage of this feature of your psyche.
Step 4
Perhaps you are afraid not only of your own pain, but also of the pain of others. This is a fairly common occurrence that characterizes you as a sensitive, responsive nature. The solution to the problem lies through a clear understanding that pain is experienced by every living being, this is inevitable. You must reconsider your attitude to pain, start taking it for granted, as a feature of being, characteristic of all that exists.
Step 5
Mental pain is more difficult to deal with than physical pain. If you decide to heal your wounds and look into the future openly, without fear, then you may be better off turning to a specialist or opening your heart to a loved one. Straightforward conversation is the first step in overcoming mental barriers and fears.
