Seven psychosomatic diseases: what weeping BODY
Psychosomatics: the message of the disease Sometimes our disease brings to us one or another symbolic message — we just need to learn to understand the language in which she speaks to us through its symptoms. Moreover, it is not so difficult...
"As it is impossible to treat eyes, not thinking about the head, or to treat the head, not thinking about the entire body, so it is impossible to cure the body without curing the soul" — Socrates said.
The father of medicine Hippocrates also advocated that the body is a single structure. And stressed that it is very important to find and fix the cause of the disease and not just its symptoms. And the causes of our physical ailments are due to our very often psychological distress. Not for nothing do they say: "All illnesses from nerves".
However, we often do not realize and continue in vain to pester doctor's offices. But if some problem exists in our head, the disease, even if for some time and subsides, then returns again. The solution in this situation — not just eliminate the symptoms but to seek the roots of disease.Doing psychosomatics (gr. psyche — soul / soma — body) — the science that examines the influence of psychological factors on physical illness.
Psychotherapist Sergei Novikov: "Psychosomatics is not just the relationship of bodily and mental, it is a holistic approach to a patient who ceases to be a bearer of the body or symptom of the disease, and becomes a full-fledged personality with their internal problems and, as a consequence, bodily ailments".
In the 30-ies of the last century one of the founders of psychosomatic medicine by Franz Alexander have identified a group of seven classical psychosomatic diseases, the so-called "Holy seven".
It includes: essential (primary) hypertension, peptic ulcer, rheumatoid arthritis, hyperthyroidism, asthma, colitis and atopic dermatitis. Currently, the list of psychosomatic disorders has expanded significantly.
Sergey Novikov: "According to the world health organization from 38 to 42% of all people attending somatic doctors are patients of psychosomatic profile. Although, in my opinion, this figure is much higher."
Stress, prolonged stress, trauma, repressed resentments, fears, conflicts... Even if we try to ignore them, to forget, to push out of your mind — body remembers everything. And reminds us.
Sigmund Freud wrote about it this way: "If we chase the problem at the door, she's in the form of a symptom coming through the window". Sometimes she "climbs" so persistently speaks to us so eloquently that it would seem impossible not to understand. However, we manage...
Bronchial asthma occurs when the inhalation of certain allergens, may be caused by infection, and emotional factors.
If to speak about the psychological implications of the emergence of this disease, they accepted the inability to "breathe".
Asthma often overtakes us when our life situation is such that we seek and do not find "the vent" live in "heavy, oppressive atmosphere" without getting and "a breath of fresh air"...
The trigger of this disease can serve, and unfavorable work environment, where the prospective employee "block oxygen". Or, for example, the invasion of distant relatives, settled in our apartment, so that "do not breathe".Breathing problems often arise in people whose loved ones literally "strangle" them with his care, especially in children whose parents are too tight "squeeze them in my arms".
A well-known physician, psychotherapist and writer Valery Sinelnikov, author of the book "Love your disease", believes that the most difficult asthmatics to cry:
"As a rule, asthmatics in life, not cry. Such people hold back the tears, the sobs. Asthma is a repressed sob... trying to Express what other way to Express it is impossible..."
And doctor of medical Sciences, Professor, head of the Wiesbaden Academy of psychotherapy (Germany) N. Peseschkian, I am convinced that many people with asthma come from families where highly valued the achievements there were too high expectations. "Pull yourself together!"; "Try!"; "Pull yourself together!"; "Don't let me down!" — these and similar calls too often they heard in childhood. However, the manifestation of the children of discontent with their position, aggression and other negative emotions in the family were not welcomed. Not being able to engage in open confrontation with parents, a child suppresses his feelings. He was silent, but his body speaks the language of symptoms of asthma, it is "crying" out for help.
It is believed that stomach ulcers may cause Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, poor diet, genetic predisposition, high concentration in the stomach of hydrochloric acid and aggressive bacteria with a beautiful name Helicobacter Pylori. However, not all people have these adverse factors cause disease.
Why is this happening? Most scientists agree that, among other things, not the last role in development of ulcers play for a long period of stress and personality characteristics inherent in many ulcer patients.
Thus, psychologists tend to believe that is often a gastric ulcer occurs in people who are anxious, vulnerable, insecure, but at the same time, presenting to his exorbitant demands, giperatidnyi. They are always dissatisfied with himself, prone to self-flagellation and "self-blame". This they dedicated to the aphorism: "the reason for the ulcers is not what you eat but what's eating you." Often with peptic ulcer sick and those who are "stuck" in a given situation, unable to accept the new circumstances of his life. "I need time to digest it," explains a man his position. His stomach, meanwhile, is digesting itself.
The Figure Of Leonardo Da Vinci
"I can't do this anymore!" — we are talking about the drudgery of work, however, for whatever reasons, do not quit. Or can't resist the constant sarcastic remarks of others. In the end, at some point our body begins to reflect, as in a mirror, what is happening in my soul.
Back pain occurs for different reasons. It's injuries and physical overload, and work in an uncomfortable position, and hypothermia... meanwhile, it is believed that the back can get sick from us and due to strong emotional reactions. And also because chronic stress, in which we find ourselves.
It is not surprising that often people in the "unbearable load", regulations "to carry your heavy cross", putting on "very heavy burden", responds to a sensory overload of back pain. After all, this part of our body is used to carry heavy objects. But there is a limit. Because even the strongest of us can "ride", the "inflexible" risk, in the end, "to be bent under a burden," "scorbutics", "break his neck".
Diabetes, from the point of view of psychosomatics, appears not from the sweet life. Quite the contrary... the disease, according to psychologists, provokes conflicts in the family, prolonged stress and resentment.
But the main psychological cause of diabetes is considered to be an unmet need for love and tenderness. Experiencing chronic "hunger for love", wanting "to taste" at least a little of the joys of life, the person begins to meet their emotional needs with food. The food becomes his main source of pleasure. And, first and foremost, sweet. Hence, overeating, obesity, increased blood sugar and disappointing diagnosis of diabetes. As a result, and sweets — the latter a source of pleasure — be banned.
Valery Sinelnikov considers that the body of diabetics tells them the following: "You will be able to get the sweet from the outside only the case that make your life "sweet". Learn to enjoy it. Choose life most pleasant for yourself. Make sure everyone in the world has brought you joy and delight".
Dizziness may be a trivial manifestation of the sea or the transport of disease, but also can be a symptom of various diseases, including quite serious. What exactly is to solve the doctors. But if endless trips to medical clinics do not bring result, and the diagnosis of doctors sound is clear:"healthy",it makes sense to look at his malaise from the point of view of psychosomatics.
Perhaps the circumstances of your life in recent times are so that you are forced to "spinning like a squirrel in a wheel". Or around you is so much going on that the "head is spinning". Perhaps you so rapidly and successfully progressed through the ranks that were literally at the "dizzy heights"? But if you, meanwhile, are a calm, thorough, accustomed to the measured pace of existence, such "circulation" of Affairs and events can you need to strain. In this case you should think about what is really important to you, focus first on the Essentials. And then the health problems will come to naught. By the way, curious fact: constant dizziness suffered by Julius Caesar — a famous lover to do several things at the same time.
Hair loss also has many causes. This genetic predisposition, and hormonal disorders, and of course, stress. Often we starting to lose my hair after suffering or nervous shock. It may be the loss of a loved one, separation from loved ones, financial collapse... If we blame ourselves for what happened, desperately regretting the fact that the former did not return, we begin to literally "tear their hair".
Rapid thinning of hair in this case suggests that our body tells us: "it is Time to discard all the obsolete and unnecessary, to break with the past, to let him go. And then he will be replaced by something new. In particular, new hair"
Neuralgiaof the trigeminal nerve causes the pain, which is considered one of the most painful known to mankind. Trigeminal nerve is the fifth of 12 pairs of cranial nerves, which are responsible for, among other things, the sensitivity of the person. How was this a terrible attack from the point of view of psychosomatics?
And here is how. If we are not satisfied with the shape of our legs or the waist, these shortcomings are easy to hide, choosing the appropriate wardrobe, but the face is always in sight. Moreover — it reflects all our emotions. But, to be honest, we don't always want to show the world his "true face", and we often strive to hide it.Absolutely the last thing — "to lose face", it is particularly well known in the East. There say about a man who committed some improper act, the loss of reputation.
Sometimes, wanting to make a good impression, trying to appear better than we really are, we "put on masks": "glue" a smile depicting the seriousness or interest in working... in a word, "doing a good face at bad game".
This discrepancy between our real face and a mask that we hide behind, leads to the fact that our facial muscles are in constant tension. But at some point, our eternal restraint and amiability turns against us: inflamed trigeminal nerve, the"front" face suddenly disappears, and in its place formed a distorted grimace of pain. Turns out, restraining their aggressive impulses, lubenica with those who we actually would love to punch, we "slap" themselves.
Banal sore throat — and that sometimes has a psychological background. Who of us in childhood was not sick with flu or SARS before a math test that we were "fed up". And who has not taken a sick day due to the fact that we "took by the throat"?
But, above all, about psychosomatics can think of, if problems with the throat — chronic, little amenable to both treatment and explanation. They often torment those who want, but for some reason can't Express their feelings — "step on the throat" of himself and "own song". And even those who are accustomed to silently endure offense, to "swallow" it. Interestingly, often these people seem to others a cold-blooded and unfeeling. But external coldness often hides a temper, and in the soul — raging passions. Rage, but do not go out — "stuck in the throat".
Of course, not always the disease is the literal embodiment of some phrase. And not every runny nose is definitely a sign of destiny, is not so clear. Of course, for any disease, it is first necessary to consult a doctor the corresponding profile and carefully examined. But if the disease responds poorly to treatment, patients feel worse on the background of stress or conflict, then it is worth considering whether your health problems are the result of unreacted emotions, repressed hard feelings, worries, or fears.
Don't make our nevydumannye tears "cry" our body? To understand this can help the therapist.
Sergey Novikov: "Sometimes doctors dealing with the body, still refer patients for psychotherapeutic treatment (more rarely, patients come to understand the need to go to a therapist) and then we face another problem — the patient begins to fear that his aberration.
It is because of this fear, many do not reach the doctor. This fear is not justified: the therapist is a doctor that can work with a completely mentally healthy people. Those people who were able to overcome your fear and come into the office of a therapist, start working on yourself, you start to learn to see, analyze and to solve their problems, become the most "happy patients" who got rid of the "incurable chronic disease".
The connection between bodily and mental is undeniable, and only the harmony between these two components of our health can make a person truly healthy."

- Unsuccessfully treated for a peptic ulcer? Not too often do you "eat", "eating yourself up"?
- Tortured pain in the neck? Is it time to throw off those who sits on it?
- I have back? Maybe you shouldered disproportionately heavy burden?
- Suffer from asthma attacks? Think about what or who makes you "breathe", "overlap oxygen"...
