Descripción
The most complete and updated guide to psychosomatic illnesses: learn to heal trauma through the body.
How do stress, anxiety, or trauma affect our bodies? What do inflammation, pain, migraines, or dermatitis have to do with our psychological history? We often consider our body as a mere spectator in our lives, indifferent to what we experience and feel. However, the body continuously experiences, remembers, and expresses itself with signals that we don't always know how to decipher. Natalia Seijo, a psychologist specializing in psychosomatics, presents the most complete and updated guide to understanding the close relationship between our mental and physical health. Through numerous case studies of patients who found hope through psychotherapy in dealing with all kinds of ailments, she offers the keys to validating what we feel, identifying the source of our pain, and lightening the impact that future experiences may leave on us. The body is the silent witness to everything we live through, an observer that knows everything about us but rarely speaks while events unfold. It expresses itself later, at its own time and with its own codes, which we generally don't understand despite them residing within us. In this book, you will learn to: - Decode emotions, feelings, and moods.
- Recognize somatic symptoms.
- Minimize the effects of repressed emotions.
- Understand the emotional map.
- Accept the importance of childhood as key to personal development.
- Unmask stress.
- Understand the causes of psychosomatic and autoimmune diseases.
- Alleviate the impact of past experiences on the body.
- Heal past wounds.
- Listen to your body after trauma.
