I believe desensitizing is one of the most important things we can and should do for ourselves every day.

"How does desensitization work?

A desensitization program is designed to provide consistent stimulus to the affected area for short periods of time, frequently throughout the day. These small bursts of therapeutic activity shower the brain with sensory input. The brain responds to this demand by acclimating to the sensation, thereby gradually decreasing the body's pain response to the particular stimuli. In short, your body gets used to it-the stimulus becomes tolerable and no longer elicits the maximal pain response."

I believe this is probibly the one thing that I have done for myself that has made the most diffrence for me.
