The psychosomatic approach deals with the relationship between what is physical and what is mental, interaction and then the unit mind-body (and not of their separation). We could give an existential sense in every somatic disease, for example in what circumstances you are sick, and what do you get sick.
Within this framework it is important to consider a multi-factor randomness, that can contemplate, among the various factors involved, even a problematic conflict, rooted in the personal history of the subject and that "positions" on the body and more specifically on an organ. One organ thus begins to speak of emotions that you can not verbalize.
When the therapist is called upon to intervene it becomes crucial to its ability to verbalize the patient's own beliefs and their own emotional states. And it is the capacity of the therapist with his patient, to get in touch with the emotional conflicts, and build a meaning, being able to find the words to express their emotions, sometimes "locked" for too long, which makes the way towards healing. Just so you can prevent certain conflicts take the road of the body, and they are articulated by many symptoms.
The most frequent psychosomatic diseases, and most studied are:
- Headache muscle-tensive;
- Muscle pain caused by a high degree of tension;
- Gastrointestinal disorders, nausea and vomiting and, in particular irritable bowel syndrome;
- Events dermatological psoriasis, eczema, itching, etc.
These disorders strongly influence the patient's quality of life by reducing and in some cases impairing his working life, emotional, family and social.
