Characters:

1. Human (H)

2. Symptom (C)

3. * comments for self-awareness

H.: - Well, come in, since you've already come. Tired of chasing (treating) and / or ignoring you. Does not help. What is your name? (* What is the diagnosis (if any)? It may be time to get acquainted and introduce yourself, and not hide behind records in medical records, visits to doctors and discussions on psychological forums. And honestly say everything as it is to call a spade a spade).

How old are you? (* approximately at what age did this or that symptom begin: whether it be a headache (not an organic manifestation), abruptly appeared spots on the skin, eczema, asthma attacks, etc.?)

S.: He grins. Oh well. Let's dig in. I'll take a look at this.

H.: - Rubbish! You ruin your life! It would be better without you (I would be more successful; more desirable; more beautiful, etc.). Fully could (could) live. Rejoice. Breathe deeply!

(* a person expresses anger and irritation as a form of taking out his feelings and expectations that the symptom should go away rather than deal with it).

S.: - Ha! Yes, how much I GIVE you, not grateful! Think about the benefits you get when I am or show up from time to time! (* a good suggestion, I tell you. Think: "What do I get (!!!!) having a disease. After all, if there were no benefits, we would refuse or would not cling to the disease")

For example:

Angina - in order to be able to not speak something or to swallow pain, which will eventually get stuck in the middle of the path;

Sinusitis - not to feel the surrounding world in the form of resistance….

Cystitis - so as not to enjoy sex life, for example, out of fear;

Otitis media - in order not to hear, something that you cannot cope with;

Fracture (falls, abrasions, stumbling over an empty place) - anger at oneself, a sense of guilt

Panic Attacks (PA) - an attempt to control the world and yourself….

Symptoms and diseases make it possible to withdraw into oneself, fail and not be solved outside

H.: - How dare you! I really feel bad at these moments. I am helpless.

S.: - Of course! I also appear on demand. How else can you feel sorry for yourself? Except how not to get sick? (* how do you know how to support yourself when it’s bad? what do you say to yourself in moments of stress? can you ask for support? can you take support?)

It's so sweet: to lie down, get sick, blame the world, get angry and say nothing to anyone in return, keeping the face of nobility, cordiality and world peacemaking. And ……. Not to deal with the symptom, not to get acquainted, but only to try to get rid of….

But I can say a lot. What you avoid in yourself … and you don't want to know …

H: In bewilderment.

S.: - At least drink tea. It's time to talk and tell you: I am you. I am a part of you (your personality), I am what you do not allow yourself (forbid, do not realize).

H.: "I am you, you are a part of me ….." (oh, how difficult it is to admit it. It's easier to blame life …)

I am human and I am a symptom.

What or who am I like as a symptom?

What are my similarities with him?
