When we work in therapy with a physical symptom or illness, in most cases what do we find there?
Repressed rejected parts, for example, the inner child, who for some reason was inconvenient, not needed by the close adults at that time.
The inner child is natural feelings, desires, openness, and trust in the world, manifestations without judgments and limitations, that uniqueness.
The body through symptoms shows that this part needs to be restored, it is impossible to continue without it, there is no more energy to compensate for it with internal forces and all systems are breaking down.
He says: I’m calling the bells, look here!
And it is clear that by taking, for example, pills, or by any other means relieving or alleviating symptoms, here too – smoking, alcohol and other compensations, we continue to reject this inner child, turn away from it.
What to do?
I am all for therapy, for working with any physical symptom together with someone who will help me think outside the box and look at everything from a different perspective.
For listening to every signal from my body, every feeling. To have a conversation with my body.
With my life.
What is happening right now?
What am I feeling?
Do I enjoy being at this point in my life?
Am I enduring or am I enjoying it?
I am talking here about all the symptoms of the body, from simple to the most complex and untreatable. About difficult emotions and states.
