Psychological causes of disease: ailments from our thoughts

An organism is a very thin system, and it is much more strongly connected with subconscious installations than it sometimes seems. And the psychological causes of disease is a very important subject for study. A simple example - a person works a lot on an unloved work. He wants to rest, but no prerequisites for this are foreseen. And at home, too, many different duties are assigned to him. As a result, one fine day he suddenly falls ill - and gets a long-awaited rest for a few days or more.

This is one of the most simple and clear examples, however, even with a simple cold it can be much more complicated. Most often, of course, its cause is overwork.

However, children often get sick simply because they lack the attention of parents, and the disease is an easy way to get it (and adults also sometimes get sick for this very reason). A cold can occur on the eve of an important business meeting, which causes a strong fear and a desire not to attend it, before or immediately after a responsible event.

Every thought, every change of mood, stressful situation - all this leaves its imprint on the body. However, not everyone considers it necessary to listen to their own thoughts and needs. And in this case, the body is an excellent indicator, clearly showing in which area the problem has arisen.

Diseases and disorders in the body usually occur even when the psychological state that served as their cause reached a certain intensity or was hidden in the depths of the soul and for a long time continues to torment the person unconsciously from the inside.

Manifestations of psychosomatic diseases

You can give a simple example - asthma. A feature of this disease is the manifestation of attacks, when a person simply can not exhale. Such diseases, which is indicative, often suffer from people who are unsure of themselves, who have been subjected to strong pressure in the parental family or in society. And it manifests itself very often for the first time when a child joins a new team, where he has difficulties with social adaptation.

Thus, the body tells a person that he deliberately closes himself from life, that he does not allow himself to open up, to live “full breasts,” freely and easily. Constant dependence on the inhaler says that a person can not live independently. A breathing difficulty says that a person is simply not ready to give something, this is given to him with great difficulty. That is, a person puts himself in a very strong dependence on someone else's opinion, constantly doubting not only the correctness of his actions and reasoning, but also his right to demonstrate them.

An asthma attack says that a person reacts too strongly to some kind of influence, then he is protesting against something with all the internal forces, does not want to accept, is irritated. But at the same time, he is not able to throw out this protest, to manifest it. Thus, almost any disease can be explained. So, eye problems usually say that a person does not want or is afraid to see something. Legs - about instability in life. Heart problems - about love, first of all to yourself.

Causes of psychosomatic diseases

All roots lie in the past. Very many causes of illness must be sought in childhood, because it is at this moment that the psyche is most vulnerable and at the same time the main psychological traumas are laid.

However, the reasons may lie in adulthood. And their appearance can arise from anything — some kind of conflict situation in a team, problems in a relationship with a partner, unfulfilled dreams and desires, crushed by a pragmatic approach to life.

For example, a person faced a serious financial crisis. He has to look for options, constantly be in suspense, to seek out the possibility of at least some kind of income. As a result, a person starts having back problems, like with a support. Since he does not feel reliable, he does not have confidence and confidence in life.

Or the woman was subjected to violence - and began to close on their own sexuality. As a result, various diseases of the genitourinary system begin, and in order not to look attractive, the “protective cushion” of overweight begins to rapidly increase, with which she cannot manage to do anything. Yes, usually there is no desire to do something. Or a child who has been criticized for a long time and a lot, trying to get him high results in school, in hobbies, somewhere else - but at the same time created an artificial lack of love. As a result, this child learned that it is impossible to love him, and he had heart problems.

Virtually any “malfunction” of the organism can be explained from the point of view of psychology, which once again proves how closely the physical body and the subconscious are connected with itself.

How to treat such diseases

Of course, if the disease has an acute form and is life-threatening, then it is necessary to immediately consult a doctor and begin medical treatment. Yes, and in other cases, too - because the body is out of order, it must be "repaired."

However, there are cases when a seriously ill person underwent a very long and difficult treatment, and nothing helped him, no medications or methods of therapy. But suddenly something very joyful arose in his life. He either decided to start living in a new way, more optimistically, or there was a great love or some other joyful event - and the person began to heal. And often - himself, stopping taking the drugs.

In no case does it serve as an incentive to stop the treatment of complex and serious diseases. But such cases clearly demonstrate that working with the root cause of the appearance of the disease can greatly help, and sometimes completely recover from it.

Therefore, together with the therapy of some diseases, it is worthwhile to carefully look at yourself and try to understand - and why did this disease arise? What was the reason for it? If you can not figure it out yourself - you can ask for help from a psychotherapist. He will always help find the root cause of what caused the disease. And often it may be some trifle, which is just a long time sat down in the shower and gradually acquired a lot of new emotions. For example, one of the parents in childhood offended - and did not apologize. And now the person suffers from severe allergies.
