Psychosomatics - what is it and is it treated

Diseases, where do they come from? Someone believes that this is the result of improper diet or a consequence of addictions to bad habits. But then why are there many people who fall ill with serious, and even fatal diseases, while adhering to all the rules of a healthy lifestyle? On this score, there is a theory, which is also confirmed by practice, that diseases are the result of the activity of the person himself, but not of an external, but of an internal nature. And you can get rid of the disease, even the most severe one, on your own, without operations and medications.

Psychosomatics of diseases

What is psychosomatics? It is a field of medicine and psychology that studies the influence of problems from psychology on human physiology. Absolutely all diseases can be psychosomatic, ranging from colds and ending with serious illnesses like cancer.

The first mention of psychosomatics was dated in 1818, after which the area began to be replenished with new experiments and research. However, to this day, modern specialists do not stop studying it, which is reflected in high-quality treatment and complete recovery of patients.

Reasons for psychosomatics

According to one of the classification presented by Leslie LeCron, there are basically seven basic causes that cause psychosomatics:

• Reason # 1 is conflict. This type can be characterized simply - a person's conflict with himself. A simple example of this is when people do not live the way they really want, profess other people's values, views of the world, etc.
• Reason # 2 is motivation. This category includes cases where the illness brings a certain benefit to the person himself. The symptom manifests itself subconsciously, the person does not deceive and does not pretend, but in the same subconscious he pursues a certain goal. For example, he knows that only through illness he can cause attention, care and love to himself, and as soon as he recovers, everyone will forget about him. But since this happens unconsciously, a person cannot recover.
• Reason # 3 is past experience. This type of psychosomatics can originate from distant childhood, or start from the moment of severe psychological trauma. The fact that a person has been experiencing for a long time and painfully, but at the same time everything has long passed and has been forgotten, is expressed on his body and feelings now. This can be compared to phantom pain, which is often diagnosed in people after limb amputation. Even many years after the operation, when all the systems have improved, some complain of pain in the limb, which has been gone for a long time.
• Reason # 4 is body language. Thus, the body and body reacts physically to how and what their owner says. For example, such phrases as “yes this is a headache”, “my heart is not in place because of this,” “my hands are tied here,” “I cannot digest them,” etc. with regular repetition, they begin to project onto the physical plane exactly in the place that was discussed.
• Reason # 5 - identification. This type of psychosomatics often manifests itself with a strong emotional attachment to a sick person, but not always. What does this mean - if a healthy person stays with another individual for a long time, who suffers, for example, from a cold, then soon a healthy person will begin to feel the symptoms of this very cold, but this will happen not because of infection, but because of identification. Therefore, the closer a person is spiritually, the more chances of getting infected.
• Reason # 6 - self-punishment. There are cases when the symptoms of psychosomatics manifest themselves as punishment to oneself. Guilt can be real, but often it is an imaginary feeling of guilt, when a person is not guilty of anything, but he himself thinks otherwise. By punishing oneself, an individual becomes a little easier, but his life is spoiled.
• Reason # 7 - suggestion. The symptomatology of a certain disease can manifest itself in a person through self-hypnosis. He has an idea that he is ill, after which, on a subconscious level, he begins to feel all the symptoms on himself, to feel how the lesion (organ) hurts, although in fact he does not hurt and can be absolutely healthy. This type of problem also affects hypochondriacs who inspire themselves with the disease so strongly that they begin to seriously suffer from the symptoms of the disease.

The cause of psychosomatics should be considered not as a generalized element, but separately for each ailment. As an example, consider several causes of individual diseases:

• According to the psychosomatic reference book, allergy occurs when a person cannot stand someone or denies his own strength, when he tries to protest against something, but cannot express himself. It also happens that a child's allergy develops if his parents very often argued and looked at the world with completely different eyes.
• Anemia arises in those in whose life there is no sense of joy, there is a fear of life and there is no faith in themselves.
• Angina makes itself felt in cases where a person tries to refrain from harsh words, or is angry that he cannot get the upper hand over the situation.
• Vegeto-vascular dystonia develops against the background of a large number of childhood fears.
• Sinusitis is a suppressed self-pity, as well as a prolonged course of a situation where it seems that the whole world is in a mood against a person.

Thus, the reference books deal with absolutely all diseases and health problems. There is no doubt that psychosomatics is not fiction and that it works one hundred percent. The main thing in this matter is to be frank with yourself. Many are reluctant to admit the obvious, thereby only exacerbating the problem. You can find handbooks on psychosomatics in the public domain on the Internet, where you can read them for free, or you can buy them in paper form in a bookstore.

Psychosomatics in children

Having learned more closely what psychosomatics is, many may think about children. Most of the problems that are described in reference books can only be related to the adult population. It turns out that psychosomatics is only for adults? Far from it! Despite the fact that many perceive children simply as children, they are still personalities that are not much different from adults. The only difference is in the level of requests: a child suffers in the same way from the fact that he does not have a fashionable toy car, like an adult who has long dreamed of a car. It's just that everyone considers the desires of the other not so significant, and in terms of the level of stress experienced, everything is the same.

Often psychosomatics in children manifests itself when they cannot meet their own needs. In this case, the formation of negative emotional arousal occurs. All this is transferred to physical processes that can turn into pathology, which is explained by the direct connection between the emotional and physical plan. It is easy to check, it is enough to remember the situations when you yourself begin to feel fear. What happens then? Heartbeat and breathing become more frequent, sweating increases, and abdominal cramps occur. Thus, anxiety arising on an emotional background immediately affects physiology. It is by this principle that psychosomatics works for both adults and children.

If energy comes from nowhere, then it does not go anywhere, which means that, having originated inside, all this will regularly accumulate, which in the end result will result in an illness. Thus, it will continue until negative energy is transformed into positive.

However, if an adult can read a book, reflect on his life, realize the problem and start working on it, then with children it is more and more difficult. They are not yet developed enough to understand such complex things, so treatment should take place under the supervision of a psychologist who will conduct conversations with the baby.

Oddly enough, but a psychosomatic illness can manifest itself even in infants, moreover, it can be laid even in the womb. Diseases are especially pronounced in babies, whose birth was not expected, or even tried to have an abortion (intentional miscarriage). Therefore, in order for the baby to be born healthy and full of strength, it is very important for the expectant mother to provide a psycho-emotional mood. She should be in harmony with others, eliminate nerves and frustrations, be more happy and enjoy life. Otherwise, the baby is highly likely to either be born immediately with pathology, or it will manifest itself in childhood.

Reasons for the manifestation of psychosomatics in children are a dime a dozen. Disregard of the interests of the child by parents and the environment, allocating too little attention to the child. Even if the parents love the child very much, but are forced to constantly leave him to the grandmothers, grandfathers and nannies, since they themselves need to constantly work, it is not at all surprising that the child will often suffer from colds. When the child is sick, at these moments the parents begin to worry and try to spend the maximum amount of time with the sick person. So, frequent illnesses of this nature in children in the bulk of cases indicate a lack of parental love, warmth and care.

How to treat psychosomatics

It is useless to treat psychosomatics by using medicines and traditional medicine methods. Yes, relief may come for a while, but after a little time in the "illness" a relapse will surely happen. In this case, they often talk about chronic diseases that cannot be cured. To some extent, this is so, because until a person has worked out the real root of the problem that led to the illness, he will not be able to become absolutely healthy.

A visit to an experienced psychotherapist shows good effectiveness in the treatment of psychosomatic diseases. He will help identify the cause that became the starting point and resolve the situation. It should be said that this process is not fast, but very effective. It is, of course, possible to heal on your own, but for an unprepared person it is unlikely to be able to do this, so it is better to trust a professional.

Psychosomatic symptoms

Symptoms of psychosomatics appear depending on the disease itself. If it is a cold, all the symptoms characteristic of it are observed, etc. across the entire list of diseases.
