Psychosomatic diseases

The soul suffers when the body is traumatized, while the body suffers when the soul is ailing.

What is this phenomenon, and how does it develop? 

Deep within our body and soul lies a fundamental knowledge of what we need and when. When we’re tired, we rest; when we’re sleepy, we sleep. If our body gets sick, our organism tries to draw our attention to the problem through various signs, such as fever, pain, fatigue, or loss of appetite. These signs can be recognized and managed with the help of medical science or various home remedies. 

But what about those things we find difficult or impossible to talk about?  

Those deeper emotions or issues that we may be afraid to express or simply unable to share with others? In this case, how does our body signal to us, and how do we find ways to achieve healthy balance? 

Our thoughts and feelings – except for emotional traumas – do not cause pain; they flow through us as fleeting thoughts and emotional waves. Often, we try to suppress and ignore them as if they didn’t exist. However, even in this quiet, struggling suppression, our body somehow signals to us. 

A person suffering from psychosomatic illness is neither crazy nor hypochondriac. Their body simply becomes the subject of mental suppression and struggle. The symptoms, as if signals, express themselves and speak to them: “You need rest, care!” 

In fact, the symptoms create an opportunity for unspoken desires to surface and be realized. 

My own experiences from the period when these symptoms defined my days, along with some key sentences from me: 

I remember few days when one of the symptoms of the so-called psychosomatic syndrome was not present in my thoughts in some form, and naturally, in varying degrees, in physical symptoms as well. Anxiety and hypochondria accompanied me because I perceived every external influence and emerging symptom as a huge danger, regularly explaining the presence of these symptoms. What I read on the internet didn’t always bring me closer to the solution. I felt that no one could help, they just wanted to give me medicine and send me to psychotherapy. However, I wanted to step onto a new path without these, holistic healing interested me the most. I always looked for an answer to why I was the one who got this, and what method I hadn’t tried yet. 

Despite the difficulties, I believed that if I found the “solution,” then my life purpose would also be fulfilled. I observed every tool I encountered not only from the patient’s side but also from the therapist’s perspective. 

During a conversation a holistic therapist said this to me, I thought deeply: 

“You know, when the soul suffers, and you don’t experience who you really are, then psychological and physical symptoms will manifest suppression, and something in your body will manifest.” 

After such conversations, my determination grew that radical changes would be needed for me to climb out of this. And not elsewhere, but in my own head, I needed to do a major clean-up in my thoughts. It’s time to see myself differently and see everything around me differently. 

And thus began my true journey of self-development, which allowed me to find the key to my own solution. 

And what I became more by the disease 

• Managaged to experience the difference between Western and holistic perspectives and their importance for completeness.
• The moves between countries gave me the chance to find home within myself, wherever I live or stay.
• In addition to foreign languages, with the daily presence of Asperger’s and ADHD in my environment, I learned another language, which allows me to provide support in similar cases not only to those affected but also to their relatives.
• I gained insight into the world of stress and hormones, and for years, I followed a gluten-dairy-sugar-free and also Paleo diet.
• I found autogenic training intuitively, which not only “treated” the symptoms but also my perspective, so I decided that this would be one of my own remedies, and since then, I have successfully applied it to others.
• Although I tried many psychotherapeutic tools that led to healing, I believe that every possible change happens in the present. That’s why I became a transformational coach. In addition to coaching style, I also use psychological, energetic, and intuitively emerging tools I have tried on myself for healing.
• The inner child courses helped me understand what happened to me in the past, how my childhood experiences played a role in my past behavior, and what happens when I don’t do what is good for me because of this, and ignore my inner child in the long run.
• My twin flame connection taught me the significance of the spiritual path and helped me understand what I suppress within myself and what I really long for.
