Psychosomatic Symptoms.

Psychosomatic Symptoms.

We as trauma sufferers often find ourselves on a treadmill over which we have no control.

We may be driven to avoid situations that evoke both authentic excitement and relaxation,

because either could disrupt the equilibrium that our symptoms need to maintain their stability.

When we are fragmented by trauma,

it can be unbearable.

Each small step toward wholeness becomes a resource that can be used to enhance and support the healing that will unfold when we align with our natural selves.

Traumatic symptoms not only affect our emotional and mental states,

but our physical health as well.

When no other cause for a physical malady can be found,

stress and trauma are likely candidates.

Trauma can make a person blind,

mute,

or deaf;

it can cause paralysis in legs,

arms,

or both;

it can bring about chronic neck and back pain,

chronic fatigue syndrome,

bronchitis,

asthma,

gastrointestinal problems,

severe PMS,

migraines,

and a whole host of so-called psychosomatic conditions.
