To get out of this trap, it can help to temporarily suspend the habitual self-immersed view we have of ourselves and the world. You look again at the painful experience - not through your own eyes, but as if you were observing from a distance, like a fly on the wall, observing what happened to a third party. This change in perspective alters how the experience is appraised and understood.
