The human body is a perfectly coordinated mechanism tuned to exceptional health. The physical and mental beginnings work together, and if there is some kind of internal failure at the level of the psyche, it will manifest itself through pain and illness.
Short-term dizziness or regular headache, digestive problems, leg aches, any other painful discomfort in the body are certain psychosomatic signals. From a scientific point of view, it is customary to distinguish a number of pathological conditions, for example, an ulcer or bronchial asthma, referring them to psychosomatic diseases. This is the so-called "classic seven of psychosomatic diseases." However, now this list is rapidly expanding, leading experts in this field are increasingly inclined to think that any pathology can be psychosomatics.
How to understand the cause of psychosomatic pathology
The following points may be at the heart of a pain syndrome or a developing disease:
- problems in the emotional sphere, which are often closely related to the type of the nervous system; choleric and melancholic people are more likely to be susceptible to the development of psychosomatics;
- intrapersonal conflicts, displaced complexes, internal imbalance;
- self-perception problems, for example, low self-esteem, self-depreciation; a certain type of character, style of upbringing and connection with parents, family in general;
- fears;
- exposure to external factors, stress;
- some mental and borderline illnesses; very often, along with depression, a person is faced with psychosomatic problems;
- not released and not experienced situations of the past; the death of a close relative, loss of business, childhood trauma serve as a good basis for the development of psychosomatic diseases.
The list of reasons can be continued for a long time. However, it is important to understand one thing for yourself - psychosomatics arises when the psyche is exhausted and tries to convey to the person information about its condition, about internal problems and unresolved issues through the body.
To understand why the stomach or other organ hurts, which causes failures in the systems of the body, you need to figure out what this or that part of the body is responsible for. Digestion problems - the inability to "assimilate", "digest" the current situation in life, some questions and problems. If constipation occurs, it signals a reluctance to "omit" any situation. Liver hurts - an excessive amount of unrealized ideas and ideas. Problems with the pancreas - self-devaluation and lack of strength, internal resources to achieve goals. Headache - increased concentration on difficulties, unwillingness to think and seek solutions to problems. Pathologies of the musculoskeletal system are often associated with internal or imposed prohibitions on movement: “I can't go”, “I can't take”, “I have no right to do it”. Sharply dropped vision and eye diseases - a desire to abandon reality, not to see what is happening around. By logical reasoning, you can find the cause of the disease of any organ, part of the body.
Is it really psychosomatics?
Psychosomatic experts do not deny that there are situations where pain and illness develop purely for organic reasons. However, as a rule, even organic matter is supported by a mental reaction. This makes it difficult to accurately diagnose and develop a treatment plan.
Active psychosomatics can be talked about in the following cases:
- pain is not stopped by drugs, the progress of the disease does not subside under the influence of therapy;
- pathological manifestations occur regularly under the influence of similar situations, irritants;
- the first outbreak occurred after a traumatic event;
- the situation in a person's life contributes to the formation of a painful state;
- it becomes easier for a person not from specific medications, but from sedatives, including herbal teas, infusions;
- getting rid of the "irritating factor" gradually or immediately leads to an improvement in the patient's condition;
- psychotherapeutic influences, hypnotherapy, etc. are more effective in normalizing well-being.
Before self-medicating or undergoing expensive examinations, the results of which show nothing, it is worth analyzing even your own current situation in life and your emotional state. It is possible that it is psychosomatics that darkens the days and deprives them of strength. Then the best solution would be to seek help from a qualified specialist in this particular area.
