painful- a feeling, a type of sensation that is perceived as uncomfortable, upsetting- functional wise it serves its purpose of forewarning an impending danger. But when wounds are imprinted, that is when the sensation is nagging, attention-seeking.
it is weird enough to have people avoiding pain as much as they could, yet obsessed about the pain and compulsively avoid the pain by visiting them, again and again, with the purpose of systemic desensitization?
will constant revisit of pain and painting out the painful episodes help in numbing a person towards pain?
surprise how complement pain and paint are- there is therapy requiring client to paint out their feelings, thoughts- what they paint also include their pain. catharsis, a better way for entering the client's world.
but what if individual becomes her own painful episode's van gogh, painting one after another, revisiting them again and again, hoping systemic desensitization would work.
yet undeniably it is better than sitting down brooding over the pain, enlarge the pain, and paralyzed by the pain.
painting the pain, is torturous while painting, is murderous while revisiting, is the surge of on-the-verge-of-getting-insane feeling while recalling and submerged in details, but after some time, it will be out of the league of sensation. sensation no more, perception no more. it is just, paintings that are hung on the life's museum, occasionally go there and appreciate our once upon a time artistic skills.
