The difference between physical and emotion pain?

What's the difference between emotional pain and physical pain? Physical pain is local, you actually know where it's at your arm, your stomach, your back your foot. With emotional pain it is nonlocal. It's actually in every cell in your body. Sometimes emotional pain takes a lot longer to heal. When someone is harmed emotionally give them plenty of time to heal. Allow them the opportunity to share with you what they need to heal. What they really need is just someone to hear them, listen to them, and they can tell you what they need for that emotional harm to be healed.
