Despite the fact that I am professionally deformed and am sure that all diseases in our body are psychosomatics (that is, a reflection of our emotional, mental, spiritual state, attitude to the world, experiences, emotions) I still go to doctors for routine examinations.
And who else will make the correct diagnosis and direct my professional thoughts in the right direction if something happens?
How glad I am when every year more and more people in white coats talk about the psychological components of any disease. I think if psychotherapists and doctors unite in the name of health, then we will all benefit from this.
I hope that the word psychosomatics is definitely not new to you. But if you hear about it for the first time, then the time has come. And I congratulate you - this is the beginning of healing.
Psychosomatic diseases (so it will be more correct) are those disorders in our body, which are based on psychological reasons. Often my clients ask in surprise - what do psychological reasons mean? Lilya, what do you think I thought of this for myself and nothing hurts me?
No, no, the disease is very real and pain too. My practical experience shows that in this context, psychological causes are our reactions to traumatic (complex) life events, our thoughts, feelings, emotions that do not find a timely, correct expression for a particular person.
Psychic defenses work, we forget about this event after a while, and sometimes instantly, but the body and the unconscious part of the psyche remember everything and send us signals in the form of disorders and diseases. And here everything is very individual, in each situation the symptom calls for some specific changes in a person's life.
Sometimes the call can be to respond to some events from the past, to bring "buried" feelings out, or a symptom simply symbolizes what we prohibit ourselves (for example, a runny nose - as a symbol of unshed tears).
Often times, situations are even more difficult when the body requires a change in priorities, values, strict mental discipline, spiritual and personal growth. Children's experience plays an important role in psychosomatic disorders. When a child does not find another way to attract attention or influence the conflict between adults, he starts to get sick.
How often can you meet exhausted parents who were on the verge of divorce, and now united over the bed of a sick child. And growing up, this person continues to get sick in difficult life situations, because the unconscious reproduces the past "successful" experience of resolving the conflict in this way. In general, this is only a part of the generalized stories of my clients, and as the classic of psychotherapy Bujenthal said, "they are all mercilessly diverse."
I learned to look at bodily symptoms as friends who bring good news, hinting that it's time to change something in my life.
How do you react when you notice that you are sick or when your chronic symptoms worsen? Remember and write down your thoughts at this moment. This is an important diagnostic step.
And also write down, please, what thoughts and feelings you have now after reading my reflections.
Well, if there are doubts, bewilderment, confusion, or even rage, then be sure to come. Where the big no is, the big yes is usually hiding!

Our Future Is In Our Hands As Well As In Our Thoughts. Affirmations
What is affirmation? Affirmation is a short statement phrase that, when repeated many times, fixes the required image or setting in the subconscious of a person. Affirmations use the power of positive thinking to help us achieve our goals and are like little reminders within ourselves.
