We all have pain and we want the pain to stop, but the pain is telling us something. What if we could identify the pain and stop the suicide slide?

It’s pain and we want it to stop.

It could be physical pain from body ailments, but it could also be pain coming from traumas past and present. Grief, loss, anger, loneliness, the daily stress load of life that causes us to slump. It’s pain.
