Psychological self-care, what are the bases? Why do we sometimes have physical symptoms? What path can we take to keep you stable and how to do it?
I have been able to verify on more than one occasion how my emotional state It affected me physically. After several experiences that showed me this body-mind relationship, I began to investigate the subject. The conclusion I have reached after reading, attending courses and talking to some doctors is that the person is much more than a diagnosis and that there are changes that can be worked on at a psychological level that can influence the person’s health. better.
Does the mind affect our body?
One of the courses I took was about Psychoneuroimmunology. “(…) Walter Cannon and Peter Seyle, during the 1950s, coined the word Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) and defined it as the study of psychological influences on neurovegetative and immunological response capable of modulating the appearance of an organic lesion. Clinical development has been carried out, seeking this correlation in the understanding of diseases. And what is more important, the causes that motivated it and the development that they would have.” It was very interesting as well as hopeful to listen to how Doctor Jordi Camerino Foguet (Bachelor in Medicine and Surgery. Specialist in Natural Medicine and Homeopathy) spoke about this matter.
What I learned in this course made you think in that, by reviewing the aspects that we consider may have affected us on an emotional level and making the necessary changes, we can achieve two objectives: first, we replace the feeling of vulnerability that a diagnosis can generate in us with that of feeling active. , since we are doing something to be better; Secondly, we analyze what attitudes may be harming us and we try to rectify them, so it is very possible that our health will improve.
From everything I have learned in relation to the topic “body-mind” as well as what I have been able to detect in the work carried out in consultation, I would say that there is a general concern that triggers suffering: how others make us feel.
Therefore, the psychological work would consist of reviewing What attitudes can we develop? to protect ourselves from certain situations and make the necessary changes to feel strong and good about ourselves.
