Psychosomatic Back Pain

The reality is completely the opposite…

The pain is VERY REAL!

The cause of symptoms exists in the MIND, but the pain itself is 100% real and physical. These types of symptoms are in no way able to be differentiated from pain due to injury or degeneration simply through physical exam. Outwardly, these pain syndromes will appear like any other. It is for this very reason that most forms of psychosomatic pain go undiagnosed for what they truly are and therefore rarely get better.

Conscious Mind vs. Subconscious Mind

The subconscious is far larger and more powerful than the conscious mind. It contains the vast database of all our experiences and feelings. The huge volume of thoughts in the subconscious is astronomical. Things that exist here never go away. Feelings and conflicts in the subconscious will linger forever. These negative thoughts and feelings are normal for everyone to have.

Life always creates conflict, fear and pain for us. Consciously, these feelings fade, but subconsciously, they remain. Lurking. Festering. These subconscious threats are always trying to find their way back into our conscious minds. Emotional pain can be horrible and creates a much more serious threat to our TRUE selves than physical pain. It is for this reason that our subconscious must REPRESS the negative thoughts, before they can reach consciousness.

Think of it like a computer analogy...

The conscious mind is the operating system. The subconscious mind is the hard drive. We all know that problems with the hard drive can cause the operating system to crash.

Repression and Psychosomatic Back Pain

The reason for psychosomatic back pain to exist is to cover up these repressed emotions. Anger, guilt, regret, sadness, insecurity, fear, anxiety and others, exert powerful effects on our subconscious minds. These conflicts and negative emotions can come from many sources in life.

Some personality types are much more prone to suffer from these repressed emotions than others. People that are good hearted, success oriented, perfectionistic, emotional, sensitive, and self motivated, are particularly prone to suffer from psychosomatic back pain.

These emotions do not want to be buried. It is their nature to attempt to gain consciousness. In order to fool the conscious mind into ignoring these repressed emotional issues, the subconscious creates a distraction. This distraction is psychosomatic back pain.

Psychosomatic Back Pain is Just the Start

Physical pain is one of the best distractions from repressed emotional issues. It is natural for people to worry and then tell themselves, “DON’T THINK ABOUT IT”.

It is in our nature to consciously repress uncomfortable feelings. Think about the power of our subconscious and understand the extent that it is willing to go to repress sensitive, threatening memories and issues.

Physical pain is a great distraction since it really holds the attention of our conscious minds. Psychosomatic back pain is a condition that affects EVERYTHING we do. It is a constant reminder that works 24/7, to keep our conscious mind focused on the PHYSICAL and not the PSYCHOLOGICAL / EMOTIONAL. There is nothing as strong as pain to really keep us focused on the body.

The Cure for Psychosomatic Back Pain

No doctor. No therapist.

The true cure must come from inside of you. There are no side effects of this treatment and it is the very definition of holistic.

It truly treats the WHOLE person... mind, body and spirit.

I am so confident in this approach because it has worked for tens of thousands of back pain patients and the numbers are ever growing.

For further study on the subject of mindbody pain syndromes, I suggest you read the many books on the topic. Most are available in your local library, so you do not even have to spend any money. You might just be surprised at what you learn… about pain, about yourself, about the nature of medicine’s failure to address the single most problematic occurrence in the healthcare sector… the unchecked incidence of mindbody suffering.
