Sarah,
Trust me, we have all wrestled with this aspect of healing and it is from the safe shore of the other side that I tell you the way to 'accept pain' is by learning how to self-soothe. Pain cannot be ignored but it can be calmed, softened, gentled into a state where all the other healing measures are able to act powerfully.
Are you familiar with self-soothing?
Have you read about it here? Or elsewhere?
It's helpful to get a bead on where you are with this so as best to nudge you in the right direction.
