Even with over three decades of observation, I still cannot explain why we seem to pay more attention to physical pain than emotional pain. (I particularly like the 1-10 scale in which pain level 5 is “Bees?” and level 6 is “BEES!”.) The terms used for emotional pain such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder are both broad and nuanced. Physical pain and emotional pain can interfere with our daily functions and nightly sleep.
