What does "Emotionally Difficult" mean?

Something that challenges your nervous system, when its priority is your survival. And you feel afraid, scared, angry, offended etc. And you don't wanna do it, and you have a conflict. And it comes the suffering. And you avoid it, and more suffering. Etc.

I'd think of it as something intellectually challenging and something that causes inner turmoil and is difficult to deal with. It could also mean something that's difficult to fathom cuz it's complex and not easy to articulate in words

When you can have a relationship with someone really nice, but you choose to stay alone to embrace the pain of solitude in order to wake up.

That sort of things.

Everytime you have to choose between a hard emotion to deal with but with great payoff, over an easy fix that only mask the problem for a little while.
