We actually have four additional choices, which we may learn as we grow older: {1} to hold it in until it gets unbearable; {2} unable to let it out, we get physically or emotionally sick, and/or we may "blow up;" {3} to blot the pain out with alcohol, other drugs or other addictions; or {4} to express the pain and work through it with safe and supportive people.
