Why does my pain persist?
There is a kind of stuckness.
Not that each pain experience is the same — this cannot be, because each moment is new.

There was an expectation of getting better but the reality was different. Things you tried did not work. Perhaps your timelines were inaccurate: it often takes longer than you think.
There comes a point when the expectation switches to pain rather than getting better.
We see and experience a world and ourselves in that world, which we expect to see. Having had pain in a certain circumstance over and over, this now becomes the best explanation for that situation.
In other words, pain is the best explanation for what is going on in your world now, based on what has happened before.
To get better then, we need to update these predictions/expectations by having good experiences, based on an accurate understanding of pain.

That is what we can do to shape a positive future, in the choices we make right now; the only moment.
