Psychosomatic Back Pain
Psychosomatic back pain is another name for
psychological back pain.
It is also sometimes called
stress induced back pain.
Psychosomatic is a word that carries a negative implication that the pain is not real. It is often commonly used to describe pain that is “all in your head”. The reality is completely the opposite…The pain is VERY REAL!!!The cause of the pain is in your MIND, but the pain is 100% real and physical. The physical symptoms are a direct result of a psychological process that causes physical pain. Conscious Mind vs. Subconscious MindYour mind is composed of 2 distinct parts. There is your conscious mind. This is the area that you are aware of. It consists of all the day to day thoughts that you experience and the way you view yourself. It is the version of yourself that you are aware of, as well as the version of yourself that you show to other people. This conscious mind is not the REAL YOU. It is merely an invention created by the REAL YOU…the SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.The subconscious is far larger and more powerful than the conscious mind. It contains the huge 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 PainThe subconscious mind does not want it’s captive prisoner emotions to escape to the conscious mind. The subconscious views these emotions as a huge threat to our self esteem and psychological well being. The subconscious recognizes the tendency of these emotions to try to gain consciousness. The response is to REPRESS the negative emotions and thoughts. Repression is a way to hide these negative or conflicting emotional issues from our conscious minds, by burying them deep in the subconscious.The reason for psychosomatic back pain is 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...Psychologically Induced Pain Syndromes ( PIPS) are extremely common. We have all suffered from one or more of them at some point in our lives. Psychological back pain is a pain syndrome that has reached epidemic proportions due to one main factor, it’s SUCCESS. 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 painful memories and issues.Physical pain is a great distraction since it really holds the attention of our conscious minds. Psychosomatic back pain is a pain syndrome 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 get our attention… The Cure for Psychosomatic Back PainLucky for us, the cure for psychosomatic back pain is available. It is knowledge therapy. The cure is easy, but takes some time and effort to make it work. No one can cure you of psychosomatic back pain, except yourself. No doctor. No therapist. The true cure must come from inside of you. It is a process that takes time, but is worth the effort. 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. It has worked for me. I am cured of 18 years of suffering with what seemed to be 100% physically caused back pain conditions. I still have the physical problems, such as my 2 herniated discs, and my drastic degenerative disc disease. However, these conditions were never the causes of my back pain. They were only scapegoats that were blamed by an unenlightened medical system. I wasted 18 years of my life suffering with horrible pain. I spent almost all my disposable income on treatments that were designed to fix the physical causes of my pain. I let back pain control my life. It never occurred to me that it was impossible to cure my pain, since the treatments were doing NOTHING to treat the real cause. My pain was psychosomatic, and once I realized this, I was able to cure myself 100%. I did it…You can too. Believe and achieve…
