Psychosomatic Issues and Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders
This reflect the deeply interconnected relationship between the mind and body which causes:
Real physical symptoms
In these conditions, emotional stress, anxiety, or unresolved trauma can express themselves through real physical symptoms such as chronic pain, fatigue, gastrointestinal discomfort, headaches, or other persistent bodily sensations.
Medical conditions
While medical conditions may not fully explain the symptoms, the physical experiences are genuine and often distressing.
Nervous system
These disorders show how the nervous system stores emotional overwhelm in the body, sometimes long after the original stress or trauma has passed.
Treatment
Focuses on supporting both emotional and physical healing.
Approaches such as:
- Somatic Therapy
- Hypnotherapy
- EMDR Therapy
- Trauma- Informed psychotherapy
- Supportive medical care can help regulate the nervous system, release stored tension, and reduce the intensity of physical symptoms
- This integrated approach promotes relief, resilience, and a renewed sense of balance and well-being.
Healing is possible when both the mind and body are heard, understood, and
cared for together.
