Psychological Symptom Escalation
What is Psychological Symptom Escalation?The subconscious mind creates psychosomatic pain in order to defend the consciousness of the individual from repressed emotional issues. These issues may be blatant or extremely subtle. Regardless, these sensitive issues are always trying to find their way into the conscious mind, which is prohibited by their subconscious jailer. In order to insure these issues remain locked away, the subconscious mind creates PAIN.The severity of symptoms often coincides with the sensitivity of the repressed issues. Minor issues will often produce minor annoying pain syndromes. Critical issues will produce overwhelming pain and disability. As we age, the amount of repressed emotionally charged issues in our subconscious mind increases steadily. It is because of this reason that symptom escalation occurs. Causes of Psychological Symptom EscalationThere are 2 primary causes for the escalation of psychosomatic pain symptoms:* Increased amount of repressed issues will produce an increase in symptoms. Life creates situations and experiences that either create new issues or remind us of long forgotten childhood emotions and fears. This is the normal reason for a sudden and unexplained onset of psychosomatic symptoms of any type. * Inefficiency of a present pain syndrome will cause a steady escalation in symptom severity. This was my ongoing pain profile. I had a variety of psychosomatic pain conditions as a child, teen and young adult. I suffered from digestive tract sensitivity, knee pain, tendonitis in my wrists, headaches and allergies. None of these pain syndromes were efficient enough to really distract me from my repressed emotional issues. My subconscious searched for some other solution and eventually discovered back pain as its champion. This was the ultimate solution my subconscious required, since back pain took control of my life for 18 long years of suffering. Additional information about associated pain syndromes can be found on my page titled, back pain substitute symptoms. Psychological Symptom Escalation AdviceIf you are experiencing severe unresolved back pain, there is a good chance that you have a history of one or more psychological pain syndromes. You might even be experiencing a few in combination with your back pain right now. Maybe you are suffering from another pain syndrome as your primary torturer. For me, it was back pain, but for you, it could be any one of the vast variety of psychosomatic pain conditions. One thing is sure, these psychologically induced syndromes are an epidemic plaguing the healthcare system and show no sign of slowing down. Medical science has been universally inept in the management of these conditions, since it still basically denies the existence of psychosomatic or psychogenic pain. The best way to find a cure is through introspection and knowledge therapy. These were the magic bullets that banished my back pain for good!
