The body and the mind form a whole, consequently emotional disturbances always leave their mark on the organism. It is perfectly logical if we take into account the fact that the brain is the axis of the functioning of the human body and that the latter is totally innervated and, therefore, connected to the brain.
It could be argued that there is no physical disorder that does not have one or more emotional disorders as its referent or context. In this sense, we must pay attention to the signals sent to us by the body. In general, they indicate that there is some imbalance in our life.
Some of these bodily signals are very common. These are not diseases in the strict sense, but emotional disturbances that manifest themselves through the body. Below we talk about seven physical symptoms that can suggest the existence of emotional disorders.
1. Headache
Frequent headache is a very common symptom. Thousands of people around the world suffer from it. No wonder, as it is associated with stress and nervousness. Consequently, it is normal for there to be so many cases.
The meaning of headache can be summed up in one word: tension. There are internal forces that oppose each other. Usually the desire to get things done and do them well is countered by a lack of time. The need to remarry is contrary to the obligation to fulfill one's commitments. A headache often conceals various emotional disorders, which is why drugs frequently do not have the desired effects.
2. Stiff neck
A stiff, aching neck is a clear sign of extreme stiffness, not in all aspects of life, but in one in particular: the difficulty of forgiving. Resentment and resentment manifest themselves in the form of strong muscle tension in the neck area.
Not knowing how to forgive can also be accompanied by other feelings, such as discomfort or contempt. If your neck hurts, think about the grudge you haven't shed yet. Perhaps by diluting it, the pain you feel will also fade with it.
3. Stiffness and pain in the shoulders
The shoulders are an area of ​​the body designed to carry heavy weights. This applies to both physical and mental weights. Shoulder pain, especially when accompanied by cramps, indicates overload.
You are probably carrying too heavy a load, perhaps a responsibility that is not your responsibility or a commitment that you feel you cannot fulfill. Shoulder pain speaks, in any case, of emotional disturbances associated with excessive pressure.
4. Disorders in the upper back
The upper back is another area in which tensions and emotional disturbances are concentrated. When it hurts, you probably feel very lonely. It is a symptom that conveys difficulty in relating to others and a lack of self-love. Self-esteem can be damaged.
In its place, there is a great deal of fears usually related to unsatisfactory social constraints.
5. Disorders in the lower back
Lower back pain is also related to overload. However, in this case it is not a question of excessive abstract responsibilities, but of material or economic concerns.
There is a great concern about one's own economic availability. Maybe you have spent too much or you have a lot of debt. At the bottom there is the fear of not being able to deal with economic responsibilities efficiently.
6. Pain in the hands
The hands are the area of ​​the body related to expression and contact with others. When you feel pain or discomfort in your hands, you need to re-evaluate your ties with other people.
There is likely to be a lack of desire to have more trusting relationships. Hand aches or pains would refer to a condition of social deprivation that you want to overcome. However, sometimes you can't find the way to do it.
7. Knee problems
Knee pain is a very common complaint. IS almost always related to an ego exacerbation. It occurs when the center of concern is one's own person and a derogatory attitude is adopted towards others. It indicates the need to get out of this bubble which is opposed to being generous with others.
The body is like a book in which each part tells a story. Every area of ​​the body sends us messages continuously. Can you listen to them? This is the question you need to ask yourself, especially when you know you suffer from emotional disorders but have not made up your mind to face them or do not know how to do it.
