Physical suffering – fate or psychotrauma?
Everyone experiences physical ailments. It is normal to have pain here and there, and the body often gets scars from accidents, is worn out from hard work or feels tired after giving birth. But why do some children have diseases such as ADHD, eczema or asthma that do not improve? Why do some young people choose to harm their bodies with drugs or starve themselves? Are heart attacks due to stress a natural risk? Is cancer something we cannot avoid? Do we have to accept dementia in old age? Should we just live with diseases such as diabetes, rheumatism or tumors and settle for treatment that relieves symptoms or repairs damage?
Illnesses are not fated
Many examples from my therapeutic practice document that diseases are absolutely not determined by fate, age-dependent or a sign of bad genes. When we look more closely, it turns out that they are the result of life experiences that we have not been able to psychologically process. Illness is a consequence of psychotrauma that has manifested itself in the body. We constantly see this in the therapeutic groups where I work with the intention method and identity constellations:
- "I want to know why I'm sick." This is the intention of a seminar participant who is a dialysis patient. In her constellation, sexual abuse in early childhood clearly emerges. She is still unable to express the pain and tears over this incident. The little child in her still has to pretend that nothing bad ever happened, and that everything was perfectly fine when she was little.
- "I want to get rid of my jaw pain." This is how another woman formulates her intention. In her constellation, it turns out that the extraction of a wisdom tooth has now opened the door to a psychotrauma from a long time ago: the pain of an abortion she had had.
- "I want my lungs back." This is the intention of the next participant in the course. She is a heavy smoker. In her constellation, it emerges that as a fetus she suffered from her mother's high nicotine intake. Even before the birth, she was faced with the impossible situation that she could neither stay in her mother's womb nor wanted to come out, since the nightmare would continue there as well. With each cigarette she repeats her own psychotrauma, which already started prenatally because her mother did not want her and did not pay attention to her.
In my experience, it always pays to investigate the reason for, and realize that a psychotrauma has far-reaching consequences for both the body and the psyche of us humans.
In addition, you must:
- Know how the human psyche works in a living organism
- Know how psychotrauma occurs and develops
- Know why psychotrauma manifests in the body
- Know how psychotrauma can be healed
