Have you ever noticed that you feel good after a long run? Or after a hard cry? That's because our brain is constantly balancing our levels of pain and pleasure. After a painful experience, our brains are meant to increase our dopamine levels to help us feel better. In this episode, we explore the positive painful experiences we can have, such as taking an ice-bath, working out, or watching a sad movie, that are meant to help us feel better. We also talk about how we can feel our painful feelings without letting them take over, and actually feel better as a result.
