There are a number of symptoms and problems which the medical profession considers to be ‘psychosomatic’ |
|
What does this word, psychosomatic, mean? It means that the mind – the unconscious mind – or ‘psyche’ at some time and during some experience or situation will have co-opted the body – soma – to ‘take on’ – a difficulty which the psyche – at the time, could not find inner or outer resources to deal with appropriately.
OK what do I mean by this?
Let me give you a very simple example.
A young child experiences an adult or more than one adult ‘erupting’
Perhaps shouting – perhaps using words like: “I wish you’d never been born!” “I never want to see you ever again!” “I wish you were dead!” “I’ll kill you!” “If you tell anyone they won’t believe you!” “You’re not right in the head!”
Maybe the adult or adults continue to punish the child – smacking, hitting, beating and so on projecting their anger, caused by something else, onto the child.
Perhaps the child had broken something – or broken a rule – or made a mistake.
However the adult behaviour is incomprehensible to the child and certainly completely out of proportion to the child’s behavior.
Bewildering, confusing, and frightening the child.
The brain and mind – psyche – of this child cannot comprehend this situation by reasoning to themselves – “OK – this adult has just lost their job – and they’re worried about finances and the future – and they will calm down - and they don’t mean what they are saying and doing, but…….”
In an attempt to release itself from such a state of incomprehension – the unconscious mind co-opts the body – the soma – to ‘take on’ and manifest the disturbance in some physical symptom.
How can I help you with psychosomatic pain?
OK – well the solution that the unconscious mind came up with – during such a disturbing time was the very best that the unconscious could do with the resources it had at the time.
In simplistic terms what I do is to enable the unconscious to have numerous different resources now – today - that will resolve the deep inner conflict.
Because – although the unconscious made the best attempt that it could at the time – to release itself from such disturbance – and the body – soma – ‘took on’ the problem – the unconscious will still be suffering.
I help assist and enable you to comfortably resolve the hidden conflict and release the body from its need of attempting to ‘carry’ it.
My explanation may seem complex so talk to some of our ex-clients. A number of our ex-clients came to us with psychosomatic problems. For example: Vicky came with migraine, Claire came with hay fever, Cassie also came with hay fever. Our clients are willing for you to contact them – so you can ask any questions you may have.
Have a look at Psychosomatic Pain. There is more information for you on this page.
FREE ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION
Your first session will be an ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION. This session is FREE of charge. You will be able to ask me all the questions you need and also inform me of anything that you think and feel is important and relevant. I will establish with you what you need and want to achieve from your Therapy and structure for you a treatment plan.
However if I think that working with me does not seem to be the most effective method of resolving your difficulties, symptoms or problem I will be able to talk to you about other ways you can receive help that could be more beneficial.
If you have an idea of what you would like to achieve from working with me please go to appointments to book your ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION
If you need further advice or information about this problem we will be delighted to hear from you. You will find us friendly, professional and we will treat anything you may say or ask of us in the strictest confidence.

Your ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION will be booked for you at a time and date that is convenient for you and will last for approximately one hour. This session is Free – and can be done by phone, SKYPE, or face to face at my consulting rooms in Keswick, Cumbria, in the English Lake District. If travelling to Keswick for a weekly session is unwieldy for you I can often conduct Therapy Sessions by phone. However face to face Work, though not always essential, can often be much better, in that for example, by phone you may tell me that you are comfortable and relaxed, and face to face I can observe from you breathing, heart rate and so on that in fact you are uncomfortable.
Also go to Therapeutic Breaks in The Heart of the English Lake district for information on our accommodation – which is a sweet cosy cottage, which sleep four people right on the banks of the beautiful River Greta.
Many clients who have worked with me have often said: “I have several of the symptoms on your list – where do I begin?” during your ASSESSMENT CONSULTATION I will help you to discover where you need to begin, and often several symptoms or problems will be resolved and healed during the course of therapy.
Whatever your problem I can help!
