While fear of pain is a natural human reaction, it is particularly dominant in
our culture, where we consider pain as bad or wrong. Mistrusting our bodies, we
try to control them in the same way that we try to manage the natural world. We
use painkillers, assuming that whatever removes pain is the right thing to do.
This includes all pain—the pains of childbirth and menstruating, the common
cold and disease, aging and death. In our society’s cultural trance, rather than a
natural phenomenon, pain is regarded as the enemy. Pain is the messenger we try
to kill, not something we allow and embrace.
At that point of intensity in childbirth, I was fully at war, pitted against the
pain. My midwife, used to seeing fear and resistance in response to pain,
immediately assured me, “Nothing’s wrong, honey . . . it’s all completely
natural, it’s just painful.” She had to say this several times before I could let it
begin to sink in and, in the midst of the burning pain, the explosive pressure, the
tearing and exhaustion, remember again to breathe deeply and relax. It was just
pain, not wrong, and I could open up and accept it.
