Emotional causes of pain

How aware are you of emotions that affect your pain? Can you Identify your triggers?

Our bodies are designed for survival and have self-healing capabilities. Much like computers or operating systems, we process information to ensure our survival. When the brain perceives a threat to our well-being, it signals the body to create symptoms to protect and maintain our metabolic balance. Every symptom originates from a conflict in the brain.

Emotional Causes of Pain:

• Stress/Trauma: Unexpected events that leave us feeling isolated, such as the death of a family member or loss of a job, can trigger symptoms.

• Self Devaluation: Feelings of inadequacy or "I'm not enough" can lead to physical manifestations.

Phases of Healing:

1. Conflict Active Phase: During this phase, symptoms like feeling cold, thirst, and poor appetite occur as the body responds to the perceived threat.

2. Conflict Healing Phase: Once the conflict is no longer a threat, the body enters a healing mode, displaying symptoms such as fever, pain, swelling, and mucous.

Examples of Emotional Trauma Causing Physical Symptoms:

• Stuffy/Runny Nose: Linked to a "stink/scent conflict," where the brain perceives approaching danger or an unpleasant situation.

  • Conflict Active: Dry nose.

  • Conflict Healing: Sneezing, nasal discharge, headaches, fever, fatigue.

• Sore Throat: Associated with incidents that are hard to accept or "swallow."

  • Conflict Active: Sore/scratchy throat.

  • Conflict Healing: Swelling, difficulty swallowing, pain.

• Cough: Related to "territorial fear" or concerns about the safety of loved ones.

  • Conflict Active: No symptoms.

  • Conflict Healing: Pain/tickles in lungs, coughing.

• Body Aches: General self-devaluation, often triggered by illness, shame, guilt, or aging.

  • Conflict Active: No symptoms (soft tissue necrosis).

  • Conflict Healing: Muscle aches, pains.

Understanding the emotional roots of physical symptoms can help in addressing and managing them more effectively.
