0:00.0	You are listening to the Life Coach School Podcast with Brook Castillo episode number 238.
0:07.0	Welcome to the Life Coach School Podcast, where it's all about real clients, real problems, and real coaching.
0:16.0	And now your host, Master Coach Instructor, Brook Castillo.
0:22.0	Well, hello there my friends.
0:24.0	Some very, very exciting podcast material for you today.
0:29.0	It's all about accepting pain.
0:34.0	And I think that one of the lessons that I have been teaching as a theme throughout this podcast, especially this year,
0:43.0	is how to accept negative emotion, how to recognize the 50-50 duality of the world and the contrast,

2:18.0	And it's not something that we spend a lot of time thinking about.
2:22.0	We don't think about what pain is and we very rarely distinguish between the two types of pain that we experience.
2:33.0	So in many situations, we have the sensation of physical pain.
2:40.0	And I actually work with lots of clients who have physical bodily aches and pains that they are dealing with on a daily basis in their life.
