What is psychosomatics and how is the psyche related to health? Psychological causes of somatic diseases.

Quite often, parents are faced with the fact that neither doctors nor diagnosticians are able to establish the true cause of the child’s illness. Another situation is long-term treatment that does not lead to recovery. Doctors say that “this is chronic” and write out another prescription for pills or injections. Psychosomatic medicine can break the vicious circle, which will allow us to establish the true underlying causes of the disease and tell us how to cure the child.

What it is?

Psychosomatics is a direction in medicine that examines the connection between soul and body, the influence of mental and psychological factors on the development of certain diseases. Many great physicians have described this connection, arguing that every physical ailment has a psychological root cause. Even today, many practicing doctors are confident that the recovery process, for example, after surgery, is directly influenced by the patient’s mood, his belief in a better outcome, and his state of mind.

This connection began to be studied most actively by doctors at the beginning of the 19th century; doctors from the USA, Russia, and Israel made a great contribution to this study in the middle of the 20th century. Today, doctors talk about a psychosomatic illness if a detailed examination of the child does not show any physical causes that could contribute to the development of his illness. There are no reasons, but the disease is there. From a psychosomatic point of view, ineffective treatment is also considered. If all doctor’s orders are followed, medications are taken, and the disease does not subside, then this may also be evidence of its psychosomatic origin.

Psychosomatic specialists consider any illness, even acute, from the point of view of a direct connection between soul and body. They believe that a person has everything necessary to recover; the main thing is to understand the underlying causes of the illness and take measures to eliminate them. If you express this thought in one phrase, you get a statement familiar to everyone - “All diseases come from nerves.”

Principles

Psychosomatics is based on several important principles that parents must know if they decide to look for the true reasons for your child’s illness:

Negative thoughts, anxiety, depression, fears, if they are quite long-lasting or deeply “hidden”, always lead to the occurrence of certain physical diseases. If you change your way of thinking and attitudes, then the disease that did not “respond” to medications will go away.
If the cause is found correctly, then the cure will not be difficult.
The human body as a whole, like each of its cells, has the ability to self-heal and regenerate. If you allow the body to do this, the healing process will be faster.
Any illness in a child indicates that the child cannot be himself, that he is experiencing an internal conflict. If the situation is resolved, the disease will recede.

Who is most susceptible to psychosomatic illnesses?

The answer to this question is clear - any child of any age and gender. However, most often diseases have psychosomatic causes in children who are in periods of age-related crises (1 year old, 3 years old, 7 years old, 13-17 years old). The imagination of all children is very vivid and realistic; sometimes in children the line between fictional and real is blurred. Which parent has not at least once noticed that a child who really doesn’t want to go to kindergarten in the morning gets sick more often? And all because he creates the disease himself, he needs it in order not to do what he really doesn’t want - not to go to kindergarten.

Illness is needed as a way to attract attention, if little attention is paid to it in the family, because they communicate with a sick child more than with a healthy one, they surround him with care and even gifts. Illness in children is often a protective mechanism in frightening and uncertain situations, as well as a way to express protest if the family has been in an environment for a long time in which the baby is uncomfortable. Many parents who have gone through a divorce know very well that at the peak of worries and family drama, the child began to get sick “at just the wrong time.” All of these are just the most elementary examples of the action of psychosomatics. There are also more complex, deep-seated reasons hidden far in the child’s subconscious.

Before looking for them, you need to pay attention to the child’s individual qualities, his character, and the manner in which he reacts to stressful situations.

The most serious and chronic diseases occur in children who:

do not know how to cope with stress;
communicate little with parents and others about their personal problems and experiences;
are in a pessimistic mood, always waiting for an unpleasant situation or a trick;
are under the influence of total and constant parental control;
they don’t know how to rejoice, they don’t know how to prepare surprises and gifts for others, or give joy to others;
they are afraid of not meeting the high demands that parents and teachers or educators place on them;
cannot maintain a daily routine, do not get enough sleep or eat poorly;
painfully and strongly take other people’s opinions into account;
they don’t like to part with the past, throw away old broken toys, make new friends, or move to a new place of residence;
prone to frequent depression.

It is clear that individually each of the listed factors happens from time to time to every person. The development of the disease is influenced by the duration of the emotion or experience, and therefore long-term depression is dangerous, not one-time apathy; long-term fear is dangerous, not a momentary state. Any negative emotion or attitude, if it lasts long enough, can cause a certain disease.

How to find the reason?

All diseases, without exception, according to the world's famous psychosomatists (Louise Hay, Lise Burbo and others), are based on five basic vivid emotions:

fear;
anger;
sadness;
interest;
joy.

They need to be considered in three perspectives - how the child sees himself (self-esteem), how the child sees the world around him (attitude to events, phenomena, values), how the child interacts with other people (the presence of conflicts, including hidden ones). You need to establish a trusting relationship with the child, try to find out with him what worries and worries him, what upsets him, are there people he doesn’t like, what is he afraid of. Child psychologists and psychotherapists can help with this. As soon as the approximate circle of the child’s emotions is outlined, you can begin to work through the underlying causes.

Some popular authors (the same Louise Hay) compiled psychosomatic tables, to make the task easier. They indicate diseases and the most common causes of their occurrence. However, you cannot blindly trust such tables, because they are quite average, often compiled by observing a small group of people with similar symptoms and emotional experiences.

Tables do not take into account your child's personality and personality, and this is a very important point. Therefore, it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the tables, but it is better to analyze the situation yourself or contact a specialist in the field of psychosomatics - now there are such people.

It should be understood that if the disease has already manifested itself, it is obvious, then a very long path has been covered - from thought to emotion, from the creation of erroneous attitudes to the transformation of these attitudes into an incorrect way of thinking. Therefore, the search process can be quite long. After the cause is found, you will have to work on all the changes that it caused in the body - this will be the treatment process. The fact that the cause has been found correctly and the healing process has begun will be indicated by an improvement in the general condition and a decrease in symptoms. Parents will almost immediately notice positive changes in the baby’s well-being.

Development of the disease

You need to understand that the thought itself does not cause an attack of appendicitis or allergies. But thought gives an impulse to muscle contraction. This connection is clear to everyone - the brain gives commands to the muscles, setting them in motion. If a child has an internal conflict, then one thought will tell him “act” and the muscles will be alert. And the other (conflicting) emotion will say “don’t do that” and the muscle will freeze in a state of readiness, not making a movement, but not returning to its original calm state.

This mechanism, quite primitively, can explain why the disease develops. We are talking not only about the muscles of the arms, legs, back, but also about the small and deep muscles of the internal organs. At the cellular level, with such a long-term spasm, which is practically not felt, metabolic changes begin. Gradually, the tension is transferred to neighboring muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and with sufficient accumulation, a moment comes when the weakest organ cannot stand it and stops functioning as it should.

The brain “signals” not only to the muscles, but also to the endocrine glands. It is known that fear or sudden joy causes an increase in the production of adrenaline by the adrenal glands. In the same way, other emotions affect the balance of hormones and secretory fluids in the body. When there is an imbalance, which is inevitable with prolonged exposure to a certain organ, disease begins.

If a child does not know how to “reset” emotions, but only accumulates them, without expressing them, without sharing his thoughts with others, hiding his real experiences from them, fearing being misunderstood, punished, condemned, then the tension reaches a certain point and is released in the form illness, because energy output is needed in any form. This argument looks very convincing - two children who live in the same city, in the same ecological environment, who eat the same, have the same gender and age, do not have congenital diseases, but for some reason get sick differently. One will get sick with ARVI up to ten times during the season, while the other will not get sick even once.

Thus, the influence of ecology, lifestyle, nutrition, and immune status is not the only thing that affects the incidence of disease. A child with psychological problems will get sick several times a year, but a child without such problems will never get sick.

The psychosomatic picture is not yet entirely obvious to researchers congenital diseases. But most specialists in the field of psychosomatics consider such ailments as a consequence of a woman’s incorrect attitudes and thoughts during pregnancy and even long before its onset. First of all, it is important to understand exactly how the woman perceived her children before pregnancy, what emotions the fetus evoked in her during pregnancy, and also how she felt about the child’s father at that time.

In harmonious couples who mutually love and are expecting their baby, children suffer from congenital diseases much less often than in families where the mother experienced rejection of the father’s words and actions, if she regularly thought that it was not worth getting pregnant at all. Few mothers raising disabled children, children with severe congenital illnesses are ready to admit even to themselves that there were negative thoughts, hidden conflicts, fears, and rejection of the fetus at some moments, maybe even thoughts about abortion. It is doubly difficult to later realize that the child is sick because of the mistakes of adults. But the mother can still help alleviate his condition and improve the quality of life if she has the courage to work through the underlying causes of the baby’s illness.

Possible causes of some diseases

As already mentioned, the reasons should be considered only taking into account the character and characteristics of this particular child, his family environment, the relationship between parents and the baby, and other factors that may influence the psyche and emotional state of the child. We will present only a few diagnoses that have been most studied by the psychosomatic direction of medicine with possible causes of their occurrence: (for the description, data from several diagnostic tables were used - L. Hay, V. Sinelnikova, V. Zhikarentsev):

Adenoids

Quite often, adenoiditis develops in children who feel unwanted (subconsciously). Mom should remember whether she felt the desire to have an abortion, whether there was disappointment after childbirth, or postpartum depression. With adenoids, the child “asks” for love and attention, and also calls on parents to abandon conflicts and quarrels. To help a child, you need to change your attitude towards him, satisfy his needs for love, and resolve conflicts with his other half.

Treatment attitude: “My baby is desired, loved, we have always needed him.”

Autism

The most likely cause of autism is considered to be a defensive reaction that the baby turned on at some point in order to “shut off” from scandal, screaming, insults, and beatings. Researchers believe that the risk of developing autism is higher if a child witnesses strong parental scandals with possible violence before the age of 8-10 months. Congenital autism, which doctors associate with a gene mutation, from a psychosomatic point of view, is a long-term feeling of danger in the mother, possibly from her very childhood, fears during pregnancy.

Atopic dermatitis

Like most diseases that are related in one way or another to allergies, atopic dermatitis is an aversion to something. The more a child does not want to take someone or something, the stronger the manifestations of an allergic reaction. In a baby, atopic dermatitis can be a signal that the touch of an adult is unpleasant for him (if he is picked up with too cold or wet hands, if the person emanates a sharp and unpleasant odor to the baby). The baby thus asks not to touch him. Treatment setting: “The baby is safe, he is not in danger. All the people around wish him well and health. He feels comfortable with people."

The same installation can be used for other types of allergies. The situation requires eliminating the unpleasant physical impact.

Asthma, bronchial asthma

These illnesses, like some other diseases associated with the occurrence of respiratory failure, occur more often in children who are pathologically strongly attached to their mother. Their love is literally “suffocating.” Another option is the severity of parents when raising a son or daughter. If a child is taught from a very early age that it is forbidden to cry, laughing loudly is indecent, and jumping and running in the street is the height of bad form, then the child grows up afraid to express his true needs. They gradually begin to “strangle” him from the inside. New Attitudes: “My child is safe and loved deeply and unconditionally. He can express his emotions perfectly, he sincerely cries and rejoices.” Mandatory measures are to eliminate pedagogical “excesses”.

Angina

The illness may indicate a child’s fear of saying something, asking for something very important to him. Sometimes children are afraid to raise their voice in their own defense. Sore throat is more common in timid and indecisive children, quiet and shy. By the way, similar underlying causes may lie in children suffering from laryngitis or laryngotracheitis. New attitudes: “My child has the right to vote. He was born with this right. He can openly and boldly say everything he thinks!” To the standard treatment of sore throat or chronic tonsillitis, you should definitely add role-playing story games or a visit to a psychologist’s office so that the child can realize his right to be heard.

Bronchitis

Bronchitis, especially chronic, is very necessary for a child in order to reconcile his parents or other relatives with whom he lives together or to defuse the tense situation in the family. When a baby is choked by a cough, adults automatically fall silent (pay attention on occasion - this is really true!). New attitudes: “My child lives in harmony and peace, he likes to communicate with everyone, he enjoys listening to everything around him, because he hears only good things.” Mandatory parental actions are urgent measures to eliminate conflicts, and it is necessary to remove not only their “loudness,” but also the very fact of their existence.

Myopia

The causes of myopia, like most vision problems, are the reluctance to see something. Moreover, this reluctance is conscious and decisive. A child can become nearsighted at the age of 3-4 due to the fact that from birth he sees something in his family that frightens him and forces him to close his eyes. This can be a difficult relationship between parents, physical violence, and even the daily visit of a nanny whom the child does not like (in this case, the child often develops an allergy to something in parallel).

At an older age (in school and adolescence), diagnosed myopia may indicate a child’s lack of goals, plans for the future, unwillingness to see beyond today, fear of responsibility for decisions made independently. In general, many problems with the organs of vision are associated with these reasons (blepharitis, conjunctivitis, and in case of anger - stye). New attitude: “My child clearly sees his future and himself in it. He likes this beautiful, interesting world, he sees all its colors and details.” At a younger age, it is necessary to correct relationships in the family and review the child’s social circle. As a teenager, a child needs help with career guidance, communication and cooperation with adults, and carrying out their responsible assignments.

Diarrhea

We are not talking about a single diarrhea, but about a problem that is protracted or diarrhea that recurs with enviable frequency. Children tend to react with loose stools to severe fear and expressed anxiety. Diarrhea is an escape from something that cannot be comprehended by a child. These can be mystical experiences (fear of Babai, zombies) and very real fears (fear of the dark, spiders, cramped spaces, and so on). It is necessary to identify the cause of fear and eliminate it. If this does not work at home, you should definitely seek help from a psychologist.

New attitude: “My baby is not afraid of anyone. He is brave and strong. He lives in a safe space where he is not in danger."

Constipation

A tendency to constipation is common in greedy children, as well as in adults. Constipation can also indicate a child’s reluctance to part with something. Sometimes constipation begins to torment a child precisely at a time when he is experiencing serious life changes - moving, transferring to a new school or kindergarten. The child does not want to part with old friends, with the old apartment, where everything is clear and familiar to him. Problems with stool begin. Constipation in a baby may be associated with his subconscious desire to return back to the familiar and protected environment of the mother's womb.

New treatment setting: “My child easily parts with everything that he no longer needs. He is ready to accept everything new.” In practice, confidential communication is required, frequent discussion of the merits of a new kindergarten or a new apartment.

Stuttering

Quite often, a child who does not feel safe for quite a long time begins to stutter. This speech defect is also typical for children who are strictly forbidden to cry. Children who stutter deep down suffer greatly from the inability to express themselves. It should be understood that this opportunity disappeared earlier than normal speech, and in many ways its disappearance was the cause of the problem.

New attitude: “My child has great opportunities to show the world his talents. He's not afraid to express his feelings." In practice, it is good for a stutterer to engage in creativity, drawing and music, but best of all, singing. Categorical prohibitions on crying are the path to illness and problems.

Runny nose

Prolonged rhinitis may indicate that the child has low self-esteem, that he urgently needs to understand his true value in this world, to recognize his abilities and merits. If a child feels that the world does not understand him and does not appreciate him and this condition drags on, sinusitis may be diagnosed. Treatment attitude: “My child is the best. He is happy and very loved. I just need him." Additionally, you need to work with the child’s assessment of himself, praise him more often, and encourage him.

Otitis

Like any other hearing diseases, otitis media can be caused by negative words, swearing, and obscenities, which the child is forced to listen to from adults. Not wanting to listen to something, the child deliberately limits his hearing abilities. The mechanism of development of sensorineural hearing loss and deafness is more complex. In the case of such problems, the child categorically refuses to listen to someone or something that greatly hurts him, insults him, and degrades his dignity. In adolescents, hearing problems are associated with a reluctance to listen to parental instructions. Treatment attitudes: “My child is obedient. He hears well, he likes to listen and hear every detail of this world.”

In fact, you need to reduce excessive parental control, talk with your child about topics that are pleasant and interesting to him, and get rid of the habit of “reading morals.”

Increased temperature, fever

Unreasonable fever, an elevated temperature that persists for no apparent reason during normal tests, may indicate internal anger that has accumulated in the child. A child can become angry at any age, and the inability to express anger comes out in the form of fever. The younger the child, the more difficult it is for him to express his feelings in words, the higher his temperature. New attitudes: “My child is positive, he doesn’t get angry, he knows how to let go of negativity, doesn’t accumulate it and doesn’t hold grudges against people.” In fact, you should set your child up for something good. The baby’s attention needs to be switched to a beautiful toy with kind eyes. You definitely need to talk to your big child and find out what conflict situations he has recently had and who he holds a grudge against. After talking through the problem, the child will feel much better, and the temperature will begin to decrease.

Pyelonephritis

This disease quite often develops in children who are forced to do something other than their own. Mom wants her son to become a hockey player, so the child is forced to attend the sports section, while he himself is closer to playing the guitar or drawing landscapes with wax crayons. Such a child with suppressed emotions and desires is the optimal candidate for the role of a patient of a nephrologist. New attitude: “My child is doing what he loves and is interesting, he is talented and has a great future.” In practice, you need to allow the child to choose something he likes, and if hockey has not been a joy for a long time, you need to part with the section without regrets and go to the music school where he is so eager.

Enuresis

The main reason for this unpleasant nighttime phenomenon is most often fear and even horror. Moreover, most often, according to experts in the field of psychosomatics, the child’s feeling of fear is somehow connected with the father - with his personality, behavior, the father’s educational methods, his attitude towards the child and his mother. New attitudes: “The child is healthy and not afraid of anything. His dad loves and respects him and wishes him well.” In fact, sometimes quite extensive psychological work with parents is required.

conclusions

Vomiting, cystitis, pneumonia, epilepsy, frequent ARVI, stomatitis, diabetes, psoriasis and even lice - each diagnosis has its own psychosomatic cause. The main rule of psychosomatics is not to replace traditional medicine. Therefore, searching for causes and eliminating them at a psychological and deeper level should be done in parallel with the prescribed treatment. Thus, the likelihood of recovery increases significantly, and the risk of relapse is noticeably reduced, because a psychological problem found and solved correctly is one disease minus.

In children
Books

Long-standing emotional problems. Lack of joy. Callousness. Belief in the need for tension and stress.
The heart symbolizes love, and the blood symbolizes joy. When we don’t have love and joy in our lives, our heart literally shrinks and becomes cold. As a result, blood begins to flow more slowly and we gradually move towards anemia, vascular sclerosis, and heart attacks (infarction). We sometimes get so entangled in the dramas of life that we create for ourselves that we don’t even notice the joy that surrounds us.
The mind's need for rest. The expulsion of all joy from the heart for the sake of money or a career, or something else.
The fear of being accused of not loving me is what causes all heart disease. The desire to appear loving, capable, and positive at all costs.
Feelings of loneliness and fear. “I have shortcomings. I don't do much. I will never achieve this."
A person has forgotten about his own needs in an effort to earn the love of others. The belief that love can be earned.
As a consequence of a lack of love and security, as well as emotional isolation. The heart reacts to emotional shocks by changing its rhythm. Heart disorders occur due to inattention to one's own feelings. A person who considers himself unworthy of love, who does not believe in the possibility of love, or who forbids himself to show his love for other people, will certainly encounter manifestations of cardiovascular diseases. Finding contact with your true feelings, with the voice of your own heart, greatly eases the burden of heart disease, eventually leading to partial or complete recovery.
Ambitious, goal-oriented workaholics have been classified as Type A personality. They are more likely to experience stress and are at increased risk of high blood pressure and heart disease.
Inappropriately inflated level of claims.
Tendency to excessive intellectualization combined with isolation and emotional impoverishment.
Suppressed feelings of anger.
People with heart disease have a lack of love for themselves and for people. They are prevented from loving by old grievances and jealousy, pity and regret, fear and anger. They feel lonely or afraid of being alone.
Remember? “Love your neighbor as yourself!” Why do people forget the second part of this commandment? Help people with love and joy. Combine love for people and love for yourself. It is important to understand that I can only share with another person what I have. If I have a lot of good and bright feelings, then I can share it with my loved ones. To be open to the world, to love the world and people, and at the same time remember and take care of yourself, your interests and intentions - this is a great art. People with heart disease believe in the need for tension and stress. They have a predominantly negative assessment of the world around them or any events and phenomena in it. They view almost any situation as stressful.

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 the sick person's unnatural behavior and wrong thoughts were eliminated would the sick person's physical body be able to return to its 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. These are completely 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 the human soul, mind and, of course, body. The task of this science is to teach people to find in themselves the true causes of their diseases, carefully hidden behind 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 gives an answer to the question of how the human body responds to emerging internal and external influences, whether it can 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 a clear understanding of the need to do something with their 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. The thoughts of modern women are focused on how to remain forever slim and young. This forces them to constantly go on a variety of diets and go under the scalpel of a 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;
Perceiving life's problems as 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:

Mental illness: the mind knows that there is a malfunction somewhere in the body, but cannot understand what it is;
Physical illness: a person develops an easily identifiable illness that is clearly identified by symptoms or clinical test results;
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;
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. These are the founder of the self-help movement Louise Hay, the outstanding psychologist Liz Burbo and the intuitionist 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.

By carefully studying this table, you can find the cause of your physical illness. If the opinions of three authors regarding the cause of a particular disease differ significantly, we recommend that you listen to your intuition. In any case, the main function of such tables is to teach a person to be aware of his thoughts and needs, to listen to the signals of his own body. Well, after that you can begin to heal yourself.

How can you heal yourself?

The word "healing" is derived from the word "whole." And whole always means healthy. How can you heal yourself? Imagine that your thoughts are your inner guide, and your feelings are a kind of barometer. Having identified the beliefs that led you to a particular disease, you will understand that each disease has its own special hidden meaning. Most importantly, it is important for you to believe that your soul has incredible healing potential.

Healing always begins with the soul. Its task is to make a person better than he was before his illness, restoring the “integrity” of the body. Our health is, first of all, the harmony of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual components. Only by changing your worldview and lifestyle will you be on the path to health.

Health always begins with awareness of the problem and ends with change. First, a person needs to become aware of their habits and comfort zones, and then completely get rid of unhealthy behavior, even if it is accompanied by a feeling of security or helps to not stand out in the crowd. Health requires us to take active and constant independent care of our bodies.

The three main goals of healing are healthy self-image, healthy thoughts and healthy relationships. Let love and compassion, acceptance and approval, patience and tolerance into your soul. Free yourself from the past and start re-creating your life. Recovery is a long process that includes everything: laughter and tears, play and fun, and even childish spontaneity. Sometimes recovery is difficult and painful because our body will constantly pull us back to our usual way of living and thinking. But if you are persistent, you will soon be surprised at how rich your new life has become.

Recovery is a way of life, so let every day be healing!

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. Physical condition assessment 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 to change, explore our own capabilities and teach us
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 a full, healthy life, learn to reconcile 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.

Health

All diseases are caused by nerves, doctors say. The Indians believed that we were sick from unfulfilled desires.

People get sick from anger, greed, envy, as well as from unfulfilled dreams and unfulfilled desires.

Is this really how it is?, to whom and why the disease comes, psychosomatics will tell.

Psychosomatics of diseases

Psychosomatics is a field in medicine and psychology that studies the influence of psychological factors on the occurrence of somatic, that is, bodily, human diseases.

Experts study the connection between the characteristics of what kind of person (his constitutional characteristics, character traits and behavior, temperament, emotionality) and specific bodily ailments.

According to followers of so-called alternative medicine, all our diseases begin due to psychological inconsistencies and disorders originating in our soul, subconscious and thoughts.

For example, experts call bronchial asthma as one of the most typical diseases associated with psychosomatics. This means that the occurrence of asthma is based on certain psychological reasons.

Psychosomatic diseases

So, as has already become clear, psychosomatic diseases are those diseases that arise due to psychological factors, as a result of stressful situations, nervous breakdowns, worries or worries.

Thus, psychosomatic diseases are caused, first of all, by certain mental processes in the patient’s head, and not at all physiological, as most of us believe.

If specialists during a medical examination cannot identify the physical or organic cause of a particular illness, then such an illness falls under the category of psychosomatic diseases.

As a rule, they occur due to anger, anxiety, and depression. Guilt often contributes to the occurrence of psychosomatic illnesses.

The list of such ailments also includes irritable bowel syndrome, essential arterial hypertension, headaches, dizziness associated with stressful situations, as well as a number of other diseases.

It is also necessary to mention autonomic disorders associated with panic attacks. Somatic diseases caused by psychogenic factors fall into the category of psychosomatic disorders.

However, scientists are also studying a parallel area - the influence of somatic diseases on the human psyche.

Psychosomatics according to Freud

The fact that the internal state of the soul can influence the general physical tone and condition of the human body has been known for a long time.

In Greek philosophy and medicine it was believed that the human body depends on the soul.

The founder of the term “psychosomatic” is the doctor Johann Christian Heinroth (Heinroth). It was he who first used this term in 1818.

In the early and mid-20th century, this area of medicine became widespread. Such psychological geniuses as Smith Jeliffe, F. Dunbar, E. Weiss, as well as other eminent psychoanalysts, whose name in itself is authoritative, worked in this area.

The famous Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud studied psychosomatic diseases in detail.

It was he who gave the world the famous theory of the “unconscious” as a product of repression.

As a result, as mentioned earlier, some quite serious diseases fell into the category of “hysterical” or “psychosomatic”.

We are talking about the following ailments: bronchial asthma, allergies, imaginary pregnancy, headache and migraine.

Freud himself said the following: “If we drive some problem through the door, then it enters through the window in the form of a symptom of illness.” Thus, a person cannot avoid the disease if he does not solve the problem, but simply ignores it.

Psychosomatics is based on the psychological defense mechanism – repression. This means approximately the following: each of us tries to drive away thoughts that are unpleasant to him.

As a result, we simply brush aside problems rather than solve them. We don't analyze problems because we are afraid to look them in the eye and confront them directly. It’s much easier to close your eyes to them and try not to think about unpleasant things.

Unfortunately, problems repressed in this way do not disappear, but simply move to another level.

What exactly will this level be?

All our problems ultimately transform from the social level (that is, interpersonal relationships) or psychological (unfulfilled desires, our dreams and aspirations, suppressed emotions, any internal conflicts) to the level of our physiology.

As a result, the human body takes the brunt of the blow. It begins to hurt and suffer from very real ailments.

Psychosomatics and bioenergetics

Researchers in the field of bioenergy agree with psychoanalysts that psychological factors are to blame for all our somatic diseases.

From a scientific point of view, it all looks something like this:

All a person’s problems, his anxieties, worries, worries, as well as long-term ongoing depression and nervous breakdowns wear away at the body from the inside. As a result, he becomes defenseless in the face of dangers in the form of diseases.

His body becomes vulnerable and unable to deal with dangers from the outside: viruses and microbes attack the body weakened by stress and experiences, and he is unable to resist them.

From the point of view of bioenergy, everything looks similar, with the only difference being that experts in this field say the following:

Shattered nerves, a weak and stressed-out human psyche wears away at him from the inside, destroying his aura. As a result of such a violation, cracks and sometimes even holes form in the aura, through which various diseases penetrate.

Experts even compiled a list in the form of a table, in which they indicated which psychological factor contributes to a particular disease.

It is important here that we can and should mention self-hypnosis, which has an amazing effect. It is self-hypnosis that plays an important role in a person’s consciousness and his perception of certain things.

Have you ever paid attention to those who never get sick?

When a person is endowed with nerves of steel, he knows how to cope with nervous breakdowns. He manages to resist prolonged depression. As a rule, he easily tolerates diseases or does not get sick at all.

But a suspicious person, on the contrary, is regularly susceptible to various diseases. He gets sick extremely often, and even if he doesn’t have an illness, he will certainly invent one for himself.

For example, it is logical if bad or stale food causes stomach pain. A suspicious person will decide that he has an ulcer.

It’s a paradox, but if he really believes in this, then this same ulcer will definitely arise. After all, with his thoughts he attracts disease. About the same thing happens to those people who are always “sick” with acute respiratory infections.

Therefore, in order to avoid various illnesses, especially serious ones, you need to not let bad thoughts overcome you, drive them away from yourself and do not attract illness.

By not allowing negative thoughts to take over your mind, and by focusing solely on your health and inner strength, you can stay healthy for many years to come. After all, the power of positive thinking, says psychosomatics, can work miracles.

Remember also that our thoughts are material.

This applies to both positive aspects of life and negative ones. You can attract both financial well-being and destruction and illness.

Causes of psychosomatics

So, if we put aside physiological reasons, as well as genetic predisposition to diseases, experts in the field of psychosomatics identify the following causes of diseases:

Stress and experienced mental trauma (primarily childhood trauma).

This may include experiences of disasters, combat, the loss of a loved one, and other situations that can affect a person’s mental state.

Internal conflicts, which include depression, anger, fear, feelings of envy or guilt.

If we delve deeper into these points, we can also highlight the following reasons underlying psychosomatic diseases:

Reason No. 1. Chronic stress and constant emotional tension

As mentioned above, stress is indeed the “No. 1 cause” of all human diseases living in the modern world.

Residents of large cities are especially susceptible to stressful situations. By and large, the life of every young able-bodied person is one continuous stress.

Misunderstandings with colleagues, bosses, quarrels in the family, conflicts with neighbors and others - all this contributes to the fact that we feel overwhelmed and dissatisfied. Stressful situations can also include traffic in big cities, which results in lateness to work, chronic lack of time, constant rush, and information overload.

And the lack of sleep and rest only contributes to the fact that, accumulating, this stress destroys our body.

All these factors are constant companions of our lives, without which, however, few people imagine life in the 21st century.

However, it is worth clarifying: there is nothing criminal in stress itself. Stress is not the most pleasant physiological state in which we feel a certain excitement, similar to the state when we are on high alert. Our psyche and entire body are ready to repel an attack from the outside.

However, stress should act as an emergency mode in case of emergency situations. The thing is that this very emergency mode is triggered too often. Sometimes this happens against the will of the person himself.

Imagine: if a system operates uninterruptedly in emergency mode, sooner or later it will fail, fail, and something will certainly break in this system.

The same thing happens to the human body: if it is constantly exposed to stress, the nerves cannot stand it, and physical and psychological exhaustion occurs. As a result, the body’s rhythm is disrupted, and internal organs “fail.”

According to experts, first of all, the cardiovascular system, as well as the organs of the digestive tract, suffer from constant stress and tension.

In addition, as a result of stress, another organ may suffer, becoming a target for a stressful situation. And if previously this organ was weak and shaky, it quickly comes under attack.

Psychosomatics works according to the principle “Where it is thin, it breaks.” This means that if any organ suffers, it is the first to be hit, and the weakened organ faces danger in the form of a serious illness.

Thus, stress contributes to the appearance of somatic illness.

Reason No. 2. Prolonged experience of strong negative emotions

Negative emotions are destructive to our body.

The most destructive emotions include resentment, disappointment, envy, anxiety, and fear of something. All these emotions eat us away from the inside, gradually wearing out our body.

The principle of the effect of negative emotions on our body is the same as that of stress.

Any positive or negative emotion is not only an experience in a person’s brain, it is also a state of health and all systems of his body.

For the body, every emotion experienced is an event. When we experience something too actively, the following things happen to our body: we feel jumps in blood pressure, blood circulates more actively through the veins, the muscle tone of the body changes, breathing becomes more frequent and active.

In a word, a whole series of changes occur in the body.

However, unlike stress, not all emotions contribute to the body going into so-called emergency mode.

Each of us, even those who are far from medicine and are not doctors, knows that as a result of the fact that we experience strong emotions, blood pressure can jump up significantly.

For example, these days, it is quite common to experience negative emotions towards politicians, ruling parties, the president, and so on.

The so-called emotion of aggression-negativism has become a frequent companion of modern man. This emotion arises in relation to those who live better than us, who rule the country, etc. The development of such emotions is facilitated by daily news releases and the Internet, which provides us with news online.

It is worth noting that such a very toxic emotion is destructive for a person. But most people simply plunge into this emotion, criticizing and scolding everything around them.

A sharp jump in pressure when a person experiences it is a completely expected response of our body.

But what can happen if this very negative emotion develops into a permanent habit? It is logical that surges in blood pressure also become a constant habit and an unchanging companion of the person who succumbs to it.

All this can lead to serious illnesses awaiting him in the near future. First of all, we are talking about diseases of the cardiovascular system.

In addition, if a person is subject to some negative emotion for a long time or is not in the best emotional state for a long time, as a rule, the reason for this is an internal conflict with himself.

There are many serious studies linking certain emotions to specific diseases and illnesses.

For example, the cause of childhood neurodermatitis is the child’s excitement, his experiences, a feeling of insecurity, as well as the fear that he is not protected by loved ones.

Rheumatoid arthritis usually occurs as a result of experiencing some kind of tragedy. For example, the cause of this disease is the loss of someone close, as a result of which the disease arises.

Reason #3. Unlived emotions

As researchers in the field of psychosomatics say: “Sadness that does not result in tears makes other organs cry.”

According to experts in psychiatry and psychology, the most terrible emotion is an emotion that has not been experienced and responded to by a person.

If we experience negative emotions for a long time, it negatively affects our health. However, if you suppress them and keep everything inside, it is also very dangerous for your health.

Holding back and not experiencing negative emotions has a bad effect on your body. Remember the advice of psychologists: if negative emotions go off scale, go, for example, to the gym, so that you can definitely throw them out there.

After all, in essence, emotion is energy formed from a person’s interaction with other people and the world around us.

Energy needs to come out, manifesting itself in our behavior and actions. If we deprive her of this opportunity, she looks for other points of contact. Often this very point becomes the human body.

Experts say that unlived and suppressed emotion remains inside a person and turns into a somatic, that is, bodily disease.

A simple example, confirmed by research: when a person cannot control his aggression and anger, his risk of developing a stomach ulcer increases significantly.

It will be better if you pour out this negative emotion outward, in the form of criticism or complaint, rather than keeping it inside.

As a result, aggression turns into auto-aggression, that is, emotion eats away a person from the inside, thereby provoking a peptic ulcer.

The weaker we recognize and understand our own emotions, the higher the risk that they will transform and develop into real bodily diseases.

Each of us needs to learn to see and feel our emotions. Thanks to this ability, we will be able to express them as flexibly as possible, which, in turn, guarantees that our physical health will be stronger.

Reason No. 4. Motivation and the so-called conditional benefit

Why are you sick? Why are you sick?

Such questions sound very strange. In fact, questions of this nature occur in some cases of the disease.

Have you ever noticed that it often seems from the outside that some people simply use their own illness to solve psychological problems.

They seem to be hiding behind their illness, pretending to be sick.

Experts say there are a number of cases when the disease is beneficial to a person. Its owner simply hides behind it.

This “method” of solving any problems received its special name - going into illness.

And what’s most interesting is that, as a rule, in such cases the disease is not a deception or stimulation.

The disease in this case is not a deception or a simulation, as it seems to others. Thus, the emergence of a disease symptom actually occurs automatically at an unconscious level.

A person simply does not see the connection between a physical illness and his psychological problem.

For example, illness may benefit a schoolchild when he does not have to go to school. If he is sick, he can avoid going to his least favorite class. Another benefit is that the sick child begins to receive increased attention, he is pampered, he is bought everything he wants.

The child begins to feel loved, and it is quite logical that he begins to like it.

Therefore, sometimes children resort to illness for help. After all, in this way they try to attract attention to themselves, as well as make up for the lack of this same attention and love.

For adults, illness can become one of the ways to justify laziness, inaction and unwillingness to do something in order to change their life.

It looks something like this: What can I do? I'm sick!

The understanding that we are not able to pull ourselves together and force ourselves to do something that needs to be done becomes more difficult than the symptom of the disease itself.

Illness becomes the only way to step away a little from the everyday routine, bustle, problems, and the need to do something. Illness is like an escape from the stress that each of us faces every day.

In psychology, there have been cases where, in this way, workaholics tried to take a break from the daily stress.

Similar situations often occur in family therapy. For example, if the parents are at the stage of divorce, the child suddenly begins to get sick.

In this unconscious way, he tries to glue the parents’ relationship together, as if to rally them around his illness. And sometimes the child succeeds.

According to psychologists, if there is some conditional benefit hidden behind a certain illness, this is a completely different level of illness. Then the person, with the help of his illness, tries to resolve serious psychological problems.

It is noteworthy that such diseases cannot be cured with the help of drugs, therapy and other traditional methods that medicine and doctors will offer you at your local clinic or hospital.

Medical methods work only in cases where the problem itself is considered from a psychological point of view: for example, through awareness of the cause-and-effect relationship between this problem and the disease itself.

Our efforts to resolve this problem will be a very effective way.

But experts do not advise going into illness! According to psychologists, escaping from reality and going into illness is a very unsuccessful way to deal with stress.

Psychosomatics table of diseases

The psychosomatic table describes a variety of diseases and the causes of their occurrence.

Experts are constantly arguing over the formation of a definitive list of psychosomatic diseases.

However, some of them raise no doubt that their cause lies precisely in psychological rather than physical factors.

Here is a list of these diseases:

- essential arterial hypertension;

-gastric and duodenal ulcers;

-cardiac ischemia;

-bronchial asthma;

-neurodermatitis;

-diabetes;

-rheumatoid arthritis;

-hypertension (or high blood pressure);

-gastrointestinal diseases;

- heart attack;

-sexual disorders;

-oncology and some types of tumors.

This list may vary depending on which psychosomatic specialist compiled it.

Obviously, the list of diseases is quite impressive and somewhat unexpected. Some of the diseases on this list are surprising.

For example, you must admit that few people expected to see rheumatoid arthritis on the list. But some other ailments are quite expected, since the psychological factor at their basis is pronounced.

Here are the most common diseases and their causes, according to the theory of psychosomatics:

Psychosomatic causes of insomnia

Insomnia is one of the most unpleasant disorders of our time. Insomnia is familiar to many of us.

According to statistics, every second person suffers from this disease to one degree or another. Its causes are nervous tension, anxiety, and stress.

As a rule, a person suffering from insomnia does not leave his problems at work, but brings them home with him to his family.

In addition, such a person is not able to properly distribute his time, as well as set life priorities and decide what is important to him and what should be of secondary importance.

In other words, he tries to do everything at once, tries to cover all areas of life. As a result, all this results in enormous stress, the consequence of which is insomnia.

Perhaps you should try to put aside this daily bustle, daily worries and problems that prevent you from relaxing and breathing deeply. They are the reasons for our sleepless nights.

After all, our subconscious seems to extend time so that we can solve the problems that arise during the day.

Psychosomatics of headache

Another common problem is the frequent headaches that most of us experience.

What does this mean from a psychosomatic point of view?

If you often have headaches, the reasons may be:

Low assessment of one's own personality, internal fear, dissatisfaction with oneself, self-criticism, internal reproaches and complaints to oneself.

It is likely that you feel humiliated or insulted, or perhaps in some way underestimated by others.

Perhaps you should forgive yourself for some moments, and then the headache will go away on its own.

In addition, frequent headaches bother those who have a lot of different information spinning in their head.

When a person’s thoughts “hurt”, headaches occur. You need to be able to let go of negative thoughts and the flow of information in order to also let go of the headache and feel lighter and calmer.

Low resistance to stressful situations. A person who has headaches is usually a “bundle of nerves.” He is tight and tense. The nervous system is on alert. And the first symptom of approaching diseases is headaches.

Observations also show that frequent headaches occur in highly intelligent people who do not express, but restrain their emotions. We are also talking about an excess of information here.

Loss of connection with your true self. The desire to meet the high expectations of others: family, loved ones, friends.

Trying to avoid making any serious mistakes also leads to frequent headaches.

Fear, fear of something new or unknown.

According to Dr. Sinelnikov, the cause of headaches is hypocrisy or a discrepancy between your thoughts and behavior.

For example, you smile at someone who is unpleasant to you. You flatter him by saying pleasant words, although in fact, this person causes you hostility, antipathy or rejection.

By pretending to like someone you don't love, you create an inner imbalance.

Such a discrepancy between your feelings, thoughts and actions leads to overstrain in the body, resulting in a headache.

Perhaps you should be more sincere and not try to deceive yourself. Try to communicate with those who are pleasant to you. Whenever possible, surround yourself with people you love, appreciate and respect.

Psychosomatics of migraine

Psychosomatics claims that migraine is a disease of overly self-critical people who subject themselves to strong pressure.

Many people knew that excessive criticism is not good. But experts in the field of psychosomatics unanimously claim that it can also cause migraines.

Those who are not in harmony with their inner world are susceptible to migraines. Perhaps such people set themselves impossible tasks, go towards unrealistic goals, and when they cannot achieve them, they begin to reproach and scold themselves.

The result is self-torture and a feeling of complete powerlessness. You shouldn’t chase imaginary perfection and constantly find fault with yourself.

After all, in this way, you do not correct the situation, but only aggravate the feeling of guilt that causes prolonged migraines.

Constant feelings of guilt, as well as inferiority complexes, also contribute to the development of migraines. Try to love yourself more, pamper yourself, praise yourself. And if you set some goals for yourself, then if you fail, praise yourself for trying to achieve it.

Psychosomatics of hypertension

Many people suffer from high blood pressure. Doctors identify a number of physiological factors that contribute to the development of hypertension. But how does psychosomatics interpret hypertension?

The cause of hypertension is excessive self-confidence in a person. Perhaps such a person tends to overestimate himself.

Also, the basis of this disease may be impatience or the desire to put everything on one’s shoulders. All this leads to sudden surges in pressure.

Try to relax, do everything in your power, but don’t try to jump over your head and take on the solution to all the world’s problems.

Psychosomatics of hair problems

When your hair “sicks,” it is also directly related to psychological factors.

Hair problems (early graying, hair loss, lifelessness, fragility and loss of shine) are a consequence of stress, an indicator of helplessness, anxiety and despair.

Hair, especially for women, plays a special role in self-acceptance and self-love. Hair can rightfully be considered a symbol of vital energy. They hand over a person if there are any serious failures.

Hair problems arise when a person is in constant tension, experiences anxiety and fear.

Perhaps you should try to become yourself, to believe more in yourself, in your own strengths, but also in help from above.

Psychosomatics also interprets hair diseases as a response to an overly impudent ego, excessive pride, and resentment against higher powers.

Psychosomatics of diabetes

Diabetes is one of those diseases where people get sick because of unfulfilled desires. As a rule, not getting what he wants, a person falls into depression, followed by diabetes.

People with this illness very often mentally turn to the past and miss it, certain things, people or events.

It may also be worth erasing all negative thoughts from your mind and trying not to do bad things.

Try to enjoy even the little things, greet every new day with a smile and give in less to negative thoughts. Do not pay attention to minor failures and problems that arise.

The ability to look at the world positively is the key to a happy and healthy life without diseases, health problems and depression.

Psychosomatics of arthritis

Psychosomatics says: the cause of arthritis is dislike for oneself, as well as a constant feeling of stress and depression.

Perhaps because a person judges himself too harshly and demands too much from himself, he is unable to relax. But sometimes you just need to understand that our body needs rest, and also remember what real, sincere and genuine human happiness is.

Also, those who are susceptible to arthritis are usually very good people. They never go beyond the established rules. For them there is always the word “need”. Therefore, they often go against their real desires, overstepping themselves.

Self-criticism is very developed, which is not always beneficial. Maybe you should sometimes break the rules to be happy?

-Dislocations

Frequent dislocations of limbs, from a psychomatic point of view, mean that a person allows others to control the failure. It is possible that he is being manipulated by family members, friends or colleagues.

Knee problems reveal a stubborn, proud person. It also suggests that someone is depressed and experiencing a feeling of fear.

Psychosomatics of neck pain

Neck pain also has its own interpretation from a psychosomatic point of view.

Psychologists say the neck is a bridge between the mind (head) and feelings (body). Therefore, it is logical that neck problems signal that your mind and feelings are not in harmony with each other.

On a metaphysical level, this must be interpreted as how the bridge between the spiritual and the material has been broken.

Neck problems mean that a person lacks flexibility. Perhaps he has a fear of finding out what others are saying behind his back, and instead of understanding the current situation, he simply lets it pass by, as if ignoring it.

If you have problems with your neck, just try nodding your head affirmatively and shaking it negatively. Thanks to this simple method, you will be able to understand if you have difficulty saying “Yes” or “No”.

Psychosomatics of eye problems

Psychosomatics interprets myopia as the inability to see beyond your nose. This is a complete lack of foresight, fear of the future and unwillingness to look around.

Those who suffer from farsightedness do not know how to live in the present, to enjoy today. A person with farsightedness thinks for a very long time before deciding on anything. As a rule, he carefully thinks through all the details of what he needs to do.

It is also difficult for him to see and evaluate the current situation as a whole.

Surprisingly, psychosomatics also interprets color blindness. When a person sees everything in gray colors, this means that he is not able to perceive joyful moments in life.

Glaucoma or eyesore, as a rule, occurs in someone who does not want to let go of the past and lives in the present.

Perhaps we should forgive and accept our past and realize that today is another day...

Psychosomatics of dental problems

Dental disease is associated with indecisiveness and the inability to make decisions. The causes of dental diseases can also be the following:

Fear, fear of failure, loss of self-confidence.

Instability in desires, uncertainty that you can achieve your chosen goal.

Understanding that you cannot overcome obstacles.

Also, dental disease is typical for those people for whom decisions are made by others, and they themselves are not able to analyze life situations and face the problems that have arisen.

If you have problems with your chewing teeth, this means that you are unable to accept the circumstances.

It is noteworthy that the upper lateral teeth are directly related to decision making, and the lower ones are responsible for taking responsibility for one’s decisions. There is also an opinion that problems arising on the left side indicate problems in communicating with the mother, while on the right - with the father.

In other words, serious dental problems indicate that it is time to move on to real action, learn to identify and realize your desires, and immediately begin to realize your goals. There is no need to sit still waiting for something.

Psychosomatics of problems in the oral cavity

As a rule, diseases of the oral cavity, for example, stomatitis, indicate that a person is being eaten away from the inside by severe resentment.

Perhaps you should let go of the grievances that have been tormenting you for a long time.

Biting your tongue means punishment for being too talkative and talkative; biting your cheeks means excitement, reluctance to share your secrets.

Roth is directly responsible for the acceptance of new ideas. Therefore, problems in the oral cavity indicate this.

Psychosomatics of bad breath

Based on psychosomatics, bad breath means the following:

Bad thoughts, often thoughts of taking revenge on the offender. A person’s present life is poisoned by negative thoughts about the past and hatred. Sometimes such thoughts may be unconscious.

Perhaps you should let them go and learn to live in the present.

Perhaps dirty rumors are being spread about him behind a person’s back, people around him are gossiping and gossiping about him.

Psychosomatics of lips

Lips are responsible for our sensual side of life. Depending on what internal problems are troubling a person, the following unpleasant moments may be reflected on the lips:

Cracks - a person is bursting from the inside with many conflicting feelings.

He suffers from uncertainty and from a lack of understanding of what to do, who to be with, where to go.

Lip biting - in this way, a person punishes himself for being overly sensuality and outpouring of feelings.

Herpes also reveals a person who has shown his sensuality too clearly.

Psychosomatics of excess weight

Based on psychosomatics, if a person is overweight, he should think about what is wrong with his inner world.

Extra pounds indicate that a person has serious problems inside that need to be corrected.

As a rule, the body retains extra pounds to protect itself from external factors, often negative.

A person is defenseless in front of the outside world and is not always able to confront emerging problems.
