I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival on September 21 and a happy reunion [爱心][爱心][爱心]
When a person cannot speak words When expressing his feelings, he is more inclined to use somatic forms instead of language. Somatization is the process of transforming emotions into body forms.
Human speech is learned gradually after one year of age, and it is also a process of slowly turning body into language.
→Here is an example:
When we are young, when we encounter external stimuli, it will cause natural somatization, for example::
① Blush when we feel ashamed, and express ourselves with blush Feeling ashamed
②When a child feels anxious and panic because he is going to school, he will tell you that he has a stomachache or a headache. It is usually difficult to find the cause in the hospital, but the child is sweating profusely. The child is using somatization to express his anxiety and panic [trembling]
③When trauma strikes, hormone secretion will cause a series of reactions, digestion, circulation, immunity, endocrine, skin, breathing and heart will be activated to varying degrees .
Some of these natural somatization phenomena will continue into adulthood, but as a person grows up, he will slowly learn to express emotions in words. When the person has not learned to express emotions in words, he stays in the body. Express it.
→For example:
Many people who use physical illnesses to cope with stress have tension headaches, allergic enteritis, skin rashes or chronic pain, which lead to repeated medical treatments, but all indicators are normal.
Even some somatization reactions are physical reactions such as paralysis or inability to speak after a major trauma. However, the doctor's examination showed no organic disease. In fact, this is a physical expression of weakness and grief.
[Jump Jump] Reasons for the formation of somatization:
Psychologists believe that the reason why a person becomes somatization is inseparable from the horrible experience of the early years, the insecure attachment relationship and the lack of self-integration.
[Round circle] Ways to improve:
Learn to observe your own emotions, to ease your emotions through telling or other methods, that is, to see yourself and your emotions.
Somatization is sometimes easily confused with explosive illness, but the former is a physical symptom caused by unspeakable emotions, while the latter is a conscious explosive illness to achieve some of its own goals [wit]
I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival~
