The body hurts, but the reasons are in the soul: psychosomatics of diseases. What is psychosomatics and how is the psyche related to health? Shoulders and upper back

43 109 0 Have you ever noticed that when something unpleasant happened at work, when you returned home you got a headache, a nervous tic, or the joints in your hands ached? Or perhaps after another forced march at work, say, after an audit, you got a sore throat? These diseases are not always caused by bad weather or someone sneezing on you. Sometimes our body signals that we are overtired and it’s time to take a little break.

Initially, scientists considered physical (soma) and psychological diseases separately from each other. In 1818, the German psychiatrist I. Heinroth first suggested that disorders in the body could be caused by problems in the spiritual sphere, and proposed introducing a new scientific discipline, which would deal with such diseases. This opinion met with fierce criticism. However, modern doctors have long understood that the formula “all diseases come from nerves” works in practice.

Thus, at the intersection of medicine and psychology, a direction has emerged that studies the influence of a person’s psychological and emotional sphere on his physical health. This direction is called psychosomatics. Determined that psychological reasons the occurrence of diseases lead to the so-called. somatoform disorders, which are included in the international classification of diseases (ICD 10).

Even the ancient Greek philosopher Socrates believed that diseases of the body cannot be separated from diseases of the soul.

So, what do human diseases indicate? Let's look at this issue in more detail.

Classification of psychosomatic disorders

Scientists divide the manifestation of psychosomatic disorders into the following categories:

  • Psychosomatic reactions. They do not need any correction, they have a short-term, situational nature (redness from shame, loss of appetite in a bad mood, sweating of the palms when stressed, a feeling of “chill” on the back and trembling from fear).
  • Psychosomatic disorders. A violation of one or another body function develops. They are divided into the following types:
  • Conversion symptoms . There is a transformation of emotional experience into a bodily symptom:
    • hysterical lump in throat;
    • psychogenic blindness/deafness;
    • numbness of the limbs.
  • Functional syndromes . Characterized by the appearance of pain without physiological reasons:
    • cystalgia;
    • cervicalgia;
    • lumbodynia;
    • vegetative-vascular dystonia (VSD).
  • Psychosomatoses . Disturbances in the functioning of internal organs. These disorders include the famous Chicago Seven, described by the American psychoanalyst, the father of psychosomatics, Franz Alexander in 1950:
    • hypertonic disease;
    • peptic ulcer;
    • bronchial asthma;
    • neurodermatitis;
    • hyperthyroidism;
    • ulcerative colitis;
    • rheumatoid arthritis.

In the light of modern research, the Chicago Seven was officially supplemented by the following diseases that occur against the background of neurotic disorders:

  • oncological diseases;
  • panic disorder;
  • sleep disorder;
  • heart attack;
  • irritable bowel syndrome;
  • sexual disorders;
  • obesity;
  • Anorexia nervosa/bulimia.

A person, due to his destructive behavior, peculiarities of thinking and methods of emotional response, finds himself hostage to the disease. Most often, psychologists talk about stress and negative feelings about the causes of certain diseases. Traditionally, there are several basic emotions that act as a catalyst for certain ailments:

  • joy and sadness;
  • anger;
  • love and resentment;
  • attraction and aversion;
  • shame and guilt;
  • sadness;
  • interest;
  • fear and anger;
  • greed, jealousy and envy.

Experts in the field of psychosomatics believe that feelings and emotions are essentially energy. If it does not get out or is directed in a destructive direction, it becomes a psychosomatic source of illness for our body. Research has proven that the more a person expresses the experiences of his inner world, the less he gets sick. IN otherwise, he risks encountering a psychosomatic disorder - a physical illness provoked or aggravated as a result of exposure to unfavorable psychological factors.

Sources of psychosomatic diseases

However, it is not only destructive feelings or emotions that can cause problems. Psychologists note that other factors also affect our health. These include unresolved intrapersonal conflicts, problems with motivation, untrained or bad experience from the past, empathic transfer of illness, as well as self-hypnosis. Let's look at them in more detail:

  1. Internal conflict. Most often this is a conflict between “should” and “want”, between social attitudes and our desires.
  2. Suggestion effect. Suggestive patterns that many parents demonstrate in front of their children are imprinted in the child’s psyche for a long time and can come out in the form of a disease.
  3. Element of “organic speech”.“My heart aches for him,” “my head is spinning,” “he makes me sick.” We often use these phrases, but we do not suspect that we are thereby inclining ourselves to disorder.
  4. Identification. The psychosomatic illness is adopted from an authoritative person. Acting following the example of a charismatic person whom a person respects, he risks transferring to himself not only her positive qualities, but also negative ones, including diseases.
  5. Self-punishment. Psychologists often encounter the phenomenon of abdication of responsibility through withdrawal into illness. After all, concessions are made for sick people. A person subconsciously understands this and does not intentionally get sick.
  6. Post-traumatic stress disorder. If there are difficulties in processing a painful situation, then it is embodied in the form of a psychosomatic disorder.

Freud's theory

The conversion psychoanalytic theory of S. Freud helped to advance in understanding the causes of psychosomatic disorders. A clue for modern specialists was his discovery of mechanisms for repressing conscious processes into the unconscious, suppressing or censoring those in conflict with society internal installations. These mechanisms, as well as any unfulfilled desires, according to the scientist, directly relate to the emergence of neuroses - mental disorders.

Neuroses, in addition to mental ones, also have physical symptoms:

  • headache;
  • colic in the abdomen;
  • panic attacks;
  • and etc.

Hello from the past

Many modern psychologists see the root of illnesses in the patient’s past. Unsolved problems of the formation of an individual, personality, interaction with parents in the early stages of development can leave a deep mark on the child’s psyche and affect his health in the future. For example, constant suppression of a child’s hyperactivity can lead to the formation of a psychosomatic disorder in adulthood.

Parents demonstrating appropriate behavior in relation to the needs of the child, they strive to reduce the risk of psychosomatic disorders. If they (mainly the mother) display “unsafe behavior” in the presence of the child, then they are programming him for the disease. “Unsafe” includes following styles behavior:

  • anxious-ambivalent (inconstancy in response, behavior, attitude towards the child);
  • avoidant th (removal from the child);
  • disorganized (chaotic reactions with the use of violence).

Such styles of behavior indicate the so-called. psychosomatogenic family, in which upbringing often becomes the reason for the development of the disorder in the grown-up child.

Philosophical approach

Other experts go further and argue that psychosomatic illness- this is a kind of signal that a person is leading a lifestyle that is not just right, but not suitable for him. They classify such a disorder as a mystery thrown up by life itself, the answer to which will be the key to healing.

Still others try to approach the question of what illnesses mean from a philosophical point of view and argue that a psychosomatic disorder is a teacher. Therefore, it should not be denied, but listened to, learning valuable lessons that are presented to the patient in the form of a disease.

In general, all experts agree that psychosomatic disorder is symbolic in nature. The psyche uses our body as a canvas on which it draws a pattern of a particular problem in the form of a disease in order to show a person about his psychosocial conflicts that he cannot solve or to which he does not pay attention.

Predispositions

When considering the prerequisites for the development of psychosomatic diseases, psychologist M. Palchik divides human on certain levels. In each of them, a person can discover one or another predisposition to psychosomatic disorders.

1.Physical body

Our body is always with us. But often we become immersed in the world of our thoughts, forgetting about its existence. Perhaps illness is the body’s only way to remind us of its existence.

2.Emotional states

Not each of us can clearly answer the question “how do you feel now?” In this case, psychologists are faced with alexithymia - the inability to verbally report their experiences. Sometimes, in order for a particular illness to go away, it is quite enough to identify and express what the patient feels.

3.Values

What is important to a person right now? A change in values ​​is an indicator of human growth. Lack of values ​​can lead to psychosomatic disorder.

4. Purpose

This level presupposes the presence of an answer to the question “why do I live?” Often those who cannot answer it for themselves become depressed and fall ill.

Predisposition to psychosomatic disorder can be projected at each of these levels.

5.Physiology

Modern theories about the mechanisms of psychosomatic diseases have also put forward a physiological model of predisposition to this type of disorder. Doctors and psychologists divide people into three types: asthenics, athletics and picnics. It is believed that people with an asthenic constitution are more susceptible to psychosomatic disorders.

6.Character

There are a huge variety of personality types that psychology presents to us. Experts believe that personality can also act as a risk factor. Most often, representatives of the epileptoid and hysterical classifications are susceptible to psychosomatic diseases.

Body signals

Symptoms of psychosomatic disorders can also be expressed through painful sensations in the body. We all know the notorious headache, which does not allow you to relax, or a sore throat, which is not always clear to doctors. Each part of our body takes on certain psychosocial blows and reacts to them with pain. Here is a table of the relationship between problems and bodily signals.

Table 1. Psychological causes of pain in body

Table of causes of psychological illnesses

The first disease of internal organs that psychoanalysts began to study was bronchial asthma (1913). Since then a large number have been born psychoanalytic concepts regarding other diseases.

Every organ of our body works in resonance with our psychological attitudes and reacts to emotional manifestations. Certain negative experiences or unresolved problems have a destructive effect on the functioning of certain organs (for example, problems in communication cause a sore throat, the thyroid gland suffers).

Let's take an example physiological mechanism the course of diseases associated with circulatory disorders. Local circulatory disorders are associated with a catalyzing emotion - fear. In the face of danger, a person must quickly make one of the decisions: run away, freeze or attack. To speed up this decision, the blood in the body is instantly redistributed and sent to the brain. There is a release of adrenaline, which has a sharp vasoconstrictor effect. Thus, frequent experiences of fear lead to certain disorders. Pathological fear can take completely different forms: from panic attacks to fear of losing a loved one. This results in a psychosomatic risk factor for the occurrence of heart attack, hypertension, and vascular diseases.

A huge number of precedents in psychotherapy have allowed specialists to form a definite picture of what exactly is behind psychosomatic disorders in the lives of certain people. Let's consider what human illnesses indicate in the context of psychosomatics.

Table 2.

Disease Psychological reason Treatment

Bronchial asthma

Muscle spasms and suffocation during asthma are caused by various untreated internal processes. One of them is a ban on crying in childhood. Others unfavorable factors our misconceptions are considered: unhealthy perfectionism, excessive cleanliness, constant search for approval, indignation at unjustified expectations, fear of failure. A person suffering from this disease always wants to receive something from others, attracts attention to his personality and his problems. An asthmatic suppresses aggression and resentment and keeps them inside. In communicating with people he acts exclusively as a consumer.Work through the problem of aggressiveness and adequate ways to resolve it. Analyze your relationships with people in the “take-and-give” plane.

Oncological diseases

The development of cancer is provoked by three factors.

Firstly, stubbornness and conservative thinking. Manifestation of one's own rightness. Inability to change, stereotypical lifestyle.

Secondly, extreme pride, selfishness, inability to ask.

Third, an old grudge against someone close to you that has grown into anger.

1. Stop fighting windmills, stop proving something to someone.
2. Reconsider your positions, stop considering yourself the ultimate truth.
3. Work out the gestalt with the person you are angry with.
4. Openly ask him for forgiveness for holding a grudge against him.

Migraine

Headaches are a way out of unresolved conflicts. Characteristic of people who are intellectually oriented and have an underdeveloped emotional sphere. Feelings are replaced by constant mental activity.

In men My forehead often hurts. This area symbolizes intelligence and future orientation. Accumulated questions that have not been resolved lead to this symptom.

Female A variant of headaches is temporal migraine. For them, this is a bodily projection of those unpleasant things that they can actually hear from others or inventing them for themselves (the ears are located next to the temples). This also includes the fear of what other people will think of you.

1. Learn to make decisions quickly. If possible, delegate some of your tasks to other people.
2. Relieve your head by symbolically capturing unsolved problems on paper.
3. Women should verbally work out their imaginary fears regarding other people’s opinions (ask people questions, not make guesses).

Hypertonic disease

Hypercontrol in relation to others. Suppressing anger or tension. Prohibition on showing emotions.Be able to let go of the situation, let off steam.

Gastrointestinal diseases

Disruption of the gastrointestinal tract is caused by severe stressful experiences (“I couldn’t digest the situation”), which accumulate over time.

Prolonged uncertainty, a feeling of doom, irritation, and constant nervousness are also catalysts.

A big role in the development of gastrointestinal diseases is played by stereotypical ideas about the value of food put on a plate, that you need to eat everything that is put on it, and also that sometimes it is a pity to throw away spoiled food. These imposed thoughts are often embodied in the form of poisoning, nausea and vomiting.

Sometimes disruption of the stomach is due to the fact that a person literally cannot digest this or that idea that they are trying to instill in him. Then protective mechanisms are activated in the form of inflammation of the mucous membrane and nausea. On the other hand, poisoning is quite often caused by the inertia and conservative thinking of the patient himself.

The classic symptom of irritable bowel syndrome comes from the fear of embarrassment.

On the intellectual and emotional level be able to differentiate between “one’s own” and “someone else’s.” Become discerning about people and surrounding information.

Learn to deal with stress, get more rest, and be able to relax. Avoid irritating factors, change your attitude towards the situation.

Skin diseases

The skin is responsible for contact with other people and society. This is a kind of border between us and the outside world.

This also includes the inability to express emotions, fear of rejection, and tightness.Practice body-oriented practices. Create an attitude of openness to the outside world. Learn to relax.

Obesity

Pay attention to the phraseological unit “on offended water they carry." The fat cell consists of 90% water-fat gel. Modern medicine has come very close to the fact that water is an ideal carrier of information. Surveys of many overweight people have shown that they are prone to frequent grievances. Moreover, they tend to deny the fact that they were offended, displacing this feeling to the level of the unconscious. The process of accumulation of resentment at the physiological level is presented in the form of the process of accumulation of water by a fat cell, with negative information recorded on it. Destructive feelings are converted into bodily fullness, transferring the load from the psyche to the body.Apologize for your insincerity to the offender, identify the fact of your hypocrisy when you accepted his words, although you internally did not agree with them. Change the strategy of accepting offense, do not keep it to yourself, and boldly express your feelings to the offender.

Eye diseases

Women have an internal lack of self-confidence as a woman, which they carefully try to hide from others. Symbolizes fear of the future in terms of female characteristics (fear of losing beauty, doubts about one’s femininity, fear of not giving birth or not getting married). Fear of not meeting the ideal of beauty that is implanted by society or parents.

Men have uncertainty about the future. Reluctance to take responsibility for one's actions. Infantility.

Women – accept yourself for who you are. Discard stereotypes. Learn to love yourself.

For men, to gain masculinity. Learn to take responsibility for your words and actions.

The appearance of tartar is a symptom of some insignificant but annoying internal problem.Learn to interact with others on an emotional level. Don't burden yourself with postponing important decisions.

Irritating cough

A nervous cough is characteristic of people who suppress the desire to express reasonable criticism to others. For fear of hurting someone, they would rather remain silent than point out a person’s mistakes. With the help of coughing, a person frees himself from stuck emotions or attracts attention. Oppressive understatement and avoidance of conflicts also play a destructive role. Inability to accept the situation as it is.Cultivating openness, objectivity, the ability to bring things and conversations to an end.

Upper respiratory tract diseases

Frequent runny noses can symbolize our crying inner child. Diseases of this kind (sinusitis) arise against the background of self-pity.Stop feeling sorry for yourself, or work out the gestalt: live through the situation once through intense self-pity.

Rheumatoid arthritis

Hyper-responsibility (disease of domineering old people). Overactivity, inability to say no

(“the disease has put a straitjacket on a person”), stereotypes, stereotypes, suppressed aggression, reluctance to change. Patients with this psychosomatic disease have a rigid value system from which they cannot move. It is important for them to comply with social norms, to be correct and decent. This leads to suppression of a person’s emotional sphere.

Stop being afraid to deviate from the value system and allow yourself little weaknesses. Listen to your desires. Learn to sacrifice your sense of duty for the sake of your feelings and desires.

Sexual disorders

Feeling of powerlessness, inability to influence the world. Pathological narcissism. Feeling guilty for not conforming to social norms regarding gender norms.

Diabetes

Sweets in food are an analogue of love. Patients with diabetes at a psychological level do not accept love from others, or do not see its manifestation. They try to control everything, the loss of autonomy for them is a serious test that can develop into diabetes.Learn to accept love and care from others.

The roots of all diseases can be found in our head. Rummage a little, think, change your thinking style and you will feel better. And if you don’t feel any improvement, then at least take a break.

An excellent video from a leading psychologist who will tell you in detail what diseases of the body are talking about, the causes of our diseases. Anyone interested in this topic should definitely watch it.

Psychosomatics has long been known as a science that indicates the relationship between the state of mind and body. The table of diseases, compiled based on the books of Liz Burbo, Louise Hay and Carol Ritberger, will help you better understand the psychological background of your diseases and take the path to recovery.

Throughout human history, great physicians, healers, shamans, alchemists, and hermeneuts have viewed the state of health from a metaphysical perspective. They all believed that the healing process must begin with healing the soul, gradually moving on to the physical problems of the body. Socrates also stated the following: “You cannot treat the eyes without the head, the head without the body, and the body without the soul.” Hippocrates wrote that healing the body must begin with eliminating the causes that prevent the patient’s soul from performing its Divine work. Ancient healers were unanimous in the opinion that any physical illness arises as a result of a person’s disconnection from his spiritual nature. They were confident that only after eliminating the sick from unnatural behavior and wrong thoughts, physical body the sick person will be able to return to his natural state of balance and health.

Almost every great healer compiled his own tables, using the example of which he showed that the mind, soul and body must necessarily work in tandem. Healing people means making every effort to free the human soul, allowing it to fulfill its true tasks. Each person has an energy shell that is located above the physical body. The human body is so sensitive to thoughts that arise that if they are unhealthy, then it immediately begins to protect the owner, causing a disconnect between the physical and spiritual aspects of human life. Such a gap is a disease, so any problem always makes itself felt not only in the physical, but also in the energy body.

These two bodies (energy and physical) are twins that mutually influence each other. Therefore, healing should not be equated with treatment. This is absolutely different concepts. Treatment works exclusively at the level of the physical body, and healing treats a person at all levels - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

The impact of psychological problems on physical health

Until recently, all diseases were divided into physical and mental. But in the middle of the last century, Dr. F. Alexander identified a third class of diseases - psychosomatic. Since then, psychosomatics has been treating and successfully treating bodily illnesses that are caused by psychological causes. At first it was the “classic seven” of diseases, which included myocardial infarction, gastric ulcers, bronchial asthma, colitis, hypertension, hyperthyroidism and diabetes mellitus. But today psychosomatics works with any somatic disorders caused by mental causes.

Psychosomatics as a science is based on the following statements:


Psychosomatics shows that there is a deep relationship between diseases and our thoughts, between emotions and ideas, between beliefs and subconscious beliefs. She looks at how all these things affect human soul, mind and, of course, body. The task of this science is to teach people to find within themselves real reasons their illnesses, carefully covered with psychological masks. Psychosomatic tables help eliminate bodily problems, releasing the healing qualities of the soul.

Why do we get sick?

Our illnesses always reflect how successfully our body, soul and mind interact.
Psychosomatics provides an answer to the question of how human body responds to emerging internal and external influences, can he adapt to them, adapt to them. Any illness indicates to a person that there is something in his words, actions, thoughts and very way of life that prevents him from being his true self. It is this discrepancy that causes a disruption in the normal process of interaction between soul, mind and body.

Psychosomatics is based on the belief that the hidden purpose of any disease is to send a person an alarming signal that he urgently needs to change something in himself if he wants to be healthy. Psychosomatics tells people: change negative and limiting thoughts that prevent your body from developing and create an illusory perception of yourself. Pain forces us to think about what thoughts lead to incorrect attitudes. But it is precisely wrong attitudes that lead a person to wrong actions, decisions and actions.

The disease also forces us to radically change our lifestyle and reconsider habits that threaten the physical condition of the body. She points out the urgent need to conduct a sober re-evaluation of relationships with people around us, as well as to end relationships that destroy us emotionally. Sometimes illness helps us finally learn to express rather than suppress our strong emotions. And this is wonderful, because psychosomatics just says that the suppression of any emotions deals an instant blow to our immune and nervous system!

Malaise manifests itself in our body in very different ways: sudden acute attacks, prolonged somatic pain,
muscle tension or other obvious symptoms. But no matter how it manifests itself, psychosomatics gives a person clear understanding the need to do something with your soul, mind and body.

Another purpose of any disease is to increase a person’s level of awareness of his physical needs. She always pays attention to what is happening in our body. True, such signals are not always noticed immediately. For example, when under stress, a person often forgets about the most basic physiological needs, such as sleep and proper nutrition. And then his body begins to gradually strengthen its message, the symptoms become more and more pronounced. It will do this until the person deals with the existing problem; this is precisely the positive role of the disease.

Who is at risk for psychosomatic problems?

Psychosomatics claims that any disease reflects the quality of a person’s thoughts. Our thinking determines who we are, who we want to be, how we feel in the world around us, and how healthy we want to be. Everything around us is a reflection of our thoughts: decisions, actions and words, how we interact with people around us, every life situation, event or unexpected experience. A sudden illness means that a person’s thoughts have entered into a struggle with the unspoken needs of his soul and body.

It often happens that the thoughts that control our behavior and determine our choices reflect the ideas of other people, and not our own opinions. Therefore, psychosomatics believes that our habits, formed patterns of behavior, as well as the person’s lifestyle itself also lead to physical diseases. Modern people eat hot dogs on the run, stay up late on the Internet, and then take sleeping pills to get at least a couple of hours of restful sleep at night. Thoughts modern women are aimed at how to stay forever slim and young. This forces them to constantly go on a variety of diets and go under a scalpel. plastic surgeon. Drug addiction and alcoholism have become almost the norm in our society, although even a child knows how much they shorten life. Our brain has become so dependent on chemistry that at the first opportunity we grab tranquilizers or antidepressants. Smokers continue to puff on cigarettes, although they are well aware that this causes irreparable harm to their health...

Why do people behave this way? Because human nature is such that it is always easier for him to do nothing at all than to change something in himself. So it turns out that our health directly depends on our habits. Meanwhile, recent studies have shown that behavioral patterns play a huge role in a person’s predisposition to a variety of ailments, in particular such as depression, asthma, various cardiovascular diseases, autoimmune disorders and even oncology.

Here are the behavioral patterns that people who are prone to serious somatic illnesses have:

  • Inability to cope with stress;
  • Constantly immersed in one's personal problems;
  • A feeling of anxiety and a terrifying “premonition” that something bad will happen soon;
  • Pessimism and negative worldview;
  • The desire for total control of your life and the lives of those around you;
  • Inability to give and receive love to people, as well as lack of self-love;
  • Lack of joy and sense of humor;
  • Setting unrealistic goals;
  • Perception life problems in the form of obstacles rather than opportunities to change;
  • Internal prohibition on things that improve the quality of everyday life;
  • Ignoring bodily needs (for example, lack of normal nutrition and lack of time for rest);
  • Poor adaptability;
  • Concern with other people's opinions;
  • The inability to speak openly about your emotional experiences and demand what is necessary;
  • Inability to maintain normal boundaries in interpersonal communication;
  • Lack of meaning in life, periodic attacks of deep depression;
  • Resistance to any changes, unwillingness to part with the past;
  • Lack of belief that stress can destroy the body and cause physical illness.

Of course, any of us can recognize ourselves in any of these points. It is important to understand that the above behavioral traits determine our susceptibility to disease only when they manifest themselves over a long period of time.

Psychological causes of somatic diseases

Psychosomatics identifies 4 main types of diseases:

  1. Mental illness: the mind knows that there is a malfunction somewhere in the body, but cannot understand what it is;
  2. Physical illness: a person develops an easily identifiable illness that is clearly identified by symptoms or clinical test results;
  3. Psychological illness: Illness is perceived as a disruption in the proper functioning of the mind-body connection. It reflects the influence of thinking on the physical body;
  4. Psychospiritual illness: Illness is a global transpersonal crisis of the mind, soul and body. In this case, it is necessary to explore how problems in work and personal relationships affect health and overall well-being.

Today there are many freely available books by a variety of authors, after reading which you can begin to work on healing your body. As a rule, such books are equipped with detailed tables, which describe diseases and their psychological causes in detail, and also suggest ways to work through their painful conditions. We present to your attention a summary table of the three most famous healing authors who are widely known to everyone who is interested in their health. This is the founder of the self-help movement, Louise Hay, outstanding psychologist Liz Burbo and intuitive therapist Carol Ritberger. These amazing women know firsthand what serious illness and low self-esteem are. They managed to heal themselves, and now with the help of their tables they help other people heal.

Summary psychosomatic table

Disease or conditionLiz BurboLouise HayCarol Rietberger
Allergy (any of the allergic reactions)Allergies are a way of attracting attention to oneself, especially in cases where it is accompanied by difficulty breathing. Such a disease symbolizes internal contradiction. An allergy occurs when one part of the personality strives for something, and the other part suppresses this need:
  • Disgust towards a person or situation;

  • Poor adaptation to the world;

  • Strong dependence on others;

  • Desire to impress;

  • Allergy as a reaction to insult;

  • Allergy as a defense against someone or something;

  • Love for someone with the simultaneous fear of one’s dependence on this person;

  • Incorrect parental settings.

Louise Hay assured that there is a great way to get rid of allergies forever. Just ask the question: “Who do you hate?” and you will find the reason for your allergies.

Allergies occur when a person denies his own strength. You can forget about allergies if you believe that all your thoughts and actions are truly correct and necessary.

Allergies are one of the diseases associated with fear. This is how the body reacts to an internal or external stimulus that causes strong emotions. Allergies occur when you experience strong fear for yourself or loved ones, as well as when you feel strong resentment or anger.
Arthrosis, arthritisThis is what joint problems indicate:
  • Internal uncertainty, fatigue, indecision and refusal to act;

  • Anger and hidden anger: towards other people (arthrosis) or towards oneself (arthritis);

  • Unwillingness to take responsibility for your mistakes. Instead, the patient prefers to blame others;

  • Feeling of unfair treatment.

Joints symbolize movement. Osteoarthritis or arthritis signals that you need to change the direction in which you are currently moving.Joint problems indicate acute dissatisfaction with life, yourself, relationships, your body or health:
  • The patient is torn between own needs and the demands of others;

  • Passive-aggressive behavior;

  • Emotional vulnerability;

  • Disappointment in life;

  • Hidden resentment or intense anger that is not allowed to come out.

AsthmaThis disease turns out to be a real excuse for why a person is not as strong as he would like:
  • A person wants a lot from life, takes more than he really needs, and gives with difficulty;

  • Asthma as a reflection of the desire to look stronger;

  • Inability to adequately assess real abilities and potential capabilities;

  • The desire for everything to be the way you want, and when it doesn’t work out - subconsciously attracting attention to yourself.

Asthma symbolizes fear of life. The asthmatic is convinced that he does not even have the right to breathe on his own. Most Frequent metaphysical reasons of this disease:
  • Repressed self-love;

  • Suppressing your true feelings;

  • Inability to live for oneself;

  • Highly developed conscience;

  • Parenting based on overprotection or total control (a common cause of asthma in children and adolescents).

Carol Rietberger's Model of Healing

Carol Rydberger, in her books on self-healing, wrote that any disease in our body does not arise without reason. It always indicates energy accumulations of negative emotions (in organs, glands and muscles), as well as fears and attitudes (in the spine). It is very important to find the root cause of a physical illness and then eliminate it, which cannot be done without changing the way you think.

Carol Rietberger proposed 4 steps in her healing model which include assessment, lessons, action and release. These steps are easy to follow, applicable to any situation, and easy to understand. But the effect they have on a person is incredible. Try it yourself!

First step (Assessment). This step involves self-diagnosis, which focuses the person's attention on lifestyle. Make sure that you take care of your health and that your physical body does not suffer from stress. Assessment of intellectual state gives a person the opportunity to track the quality of his thoughts. Assessing your emotional state allows you to identify psychological wounds and see what fears correspond to them. Grade physical condition makes it possible to check the sensations of the body.

Second step (Lessons). Illness forces a person to think about why he thinks and acts the way he does. Through our illness, we learn more about our personality, as well as our deepest beliefs, fears, strengths, weaknesses, self-esteem and self-perception. Illness pushes us towards change, exploration own capabilities and teaches
turn toxic situations into healing ones. Learn the lesson that your illness provides you!

Third step (Actions). At this stage, a person begins to put into practice what he realized at the lesson stage. We begin to directly improve our health and delight ourselves with changes in self-perception. A person frees himself from the bonds of the past and begins to act in the present!

Fourth step (Liberation). This stage teaches a person to live joyfully, without pain and suffering, which were caused by mental wounds. Having freed himself from errors of self-perception, a person begins to understand what he really is and realizes what he can achieve. By freeing ourselves from the past, we let go of everything unnecessary and create new thoughts, new behavior, new life and new needs of the soul, mind and body.

Daily work on yourself

When psychosomatics becomes firmly established in your life, you will understand that it is not only a science, but also a way of life. Healing occurs all the time, and not only when sudden pain or illness frightens us, foreshadowing something terrible. If you want to enjoy the full healthy life, learn to coordinate external events with the needs of your soul. Let your thoughts reflect your true needs, not the desires and demands of other people. Only by organizing your thoughts will you create excellent health for yourself. To defeat the disease you need to look inside yourself and find unhealthy thoughts there. Even if you are absolutely healthy, for the purpose of prevention, periodically analyze everything you think about.

Pain is a signal from the body. It signals a problem that a person is carrying. If you cut your finger, the pain will indicate the cut - this is a physiological component. But there is also psychological pain in the hands, which indicates that a person should reconsider his communication with other people. There can be two options: either there is too much communication, or too little.

Psychosomatics will tell you that a person needs to find a middle ground: to be moderately sociable and moderately withdrawn. Perhaps if a person did not have such psychological problem, then I wouldn’t have cut myself at all.

What is psychosomatics

If the psyche is shaken and suffers, then the physical body reacts sharply to this, and the manifestation is not only illness, but also the pain itself.

It happens that a person suddenly feels pain for no apparent reason: either the eye twitches, or there is a stabbing sensation in the shoulder blade. There are no visible reasons, but there are explanations from a psychosomatic point of view.

Head and neck pain

The culprits are stress, excessive stress on mental detail, empty running around.

Sometimes you don’t need to immediately grab the “citramon”, but relax and let the body remove the unpleasant sensation on its own by blocking the source and cause. If you maintain emotional harmony, then everything will pass.

Pain in the neck area signals that a person constantly blames himself and cannot forgive. He engages in self-criticism, gnaws at himself for what he has done and cannot get rid of the desire to forever feel sorry for himself.

Pity is not your best friend, and forgiving yourself will take away the pain.

Shoulders and upper back

A yoke is placed on the shoulders, remember this. It is when a person, especially a woman, takes on all the work around the house, garden and solves the problems of the whole family, that the shoulders “collapse” and stretch down, pain occurs.

If you share all household chores with family members, you can relieve your shoulders from the dragging torment.

Moreover, a person can either give a lot without receiving a drop in return, or he can take without a trace, without giving a drop. If you learn to maintain a balance between the ability to receive and give to the world around you, you will forever forget about the unpleasant sensations in the upper back.

Lower back and hips

The lower back is the area of ​​finance. When it hurts, it means that your financial affairs are going badly, or you have screwed yourself up in this, or are too material and greedy.

If money plays the most important role in your life, and you are always complaining about its lack, then your lower back pain will not go away.

The hips are responsible for moving a person forward, for his development and creativity, for his ability to find his way and reach the top.

If a person stops being afraid of the future and begins to bend the world to himself, then he will forget about pain in his hips.

Elbows and hands

Pain in the elbows signals that a person is very cruel to the outside world and his claims are great.

If you start treating the world kinder, the pain will stop bothering you. Hands were mentioned above. Just remember that communication is an important component of society, but empty chatter is a waste of idle time.

Knees and calf muscles

Knee pain signals self-esteem, and it can be either high or low.

If a person begins to treat himself with a bit of humor (in the case of high self-esteem) and love himself (in the case of low self-esteem), then his knees will not crunch and ache.

Since childhood, a person has felt internal, constant and total loneliness. He's always lonely no matter who I'm with.

At some point, he has very close relationships (person, organization, idea), he identifies with them, merges, and on the other hand, it’s too good to be true. The feeling that all good things will end. It's too good to last forever.

The relationship is broken.

Since this object had the meaning of life, a person does not see the further meaning of existence, if this is not there, then I don’t need everything else. And the person chooses to die.

Theme of betrayal.

* Any “deadly disease,” in particular cancer, is a message from our inner self (soul, if you like, self, unconscious, God, Universe): “You will not live the way you were. The old personality inevitably dies. You can die psychologically as an old person and be reborn as a new person. Or die along with your principles and old life.”

Key points about the mechanism of the onset of the disease:

1. A person who has felt inner loneliness (constant and total) since childhood. "I'm always lonely no matter who I'm with."

2. At some point, he has very close relationships (person, organization, idea), he identifies with them, to the level of merger, they become the meaning of his life. On the other hand, he is gnawed by the thought - “this is too good to be true.” The feeling that all good things will end. "It's too good to last forever."

3. Relationships are broken.

4. Since this object contained the meaning of life, the person does not see the further meaning of existence - “if this is not there, then I don’t need everything else.” And internally, on an unconscious level, a person makes the decision to die.

5. The theme of betrayal is always present. Or the feeling that he was betrayed. Or in the case of loss (of an idea, person, organization), the main idea is “to live on means to betray this bright past/relationship. The loss is not always physical, often it is a psychological loss, a subjective feeling.

The self-destruction mechanism starts quite quickly. Cases of late diagnosis are common. Since these people are used to being alone - they are from the series of “strong and persistent”, very heroic people, they never ask for help and do not share their experiences. It seems to them that being strong always adds bonuses to their lives, because they are valued that way. They "don't want to burden anyone." They ignore their experiences - they endure and remain silent. Servants. The mortality lies in the fact that a person cannot overcome this “loss”. To live, he needs to become different, change his beliefs, start believing in something else.
