Every consequence has its own cause. This statement is true for all things and phenomena in life. Including health. The cause of many (or even all) bodily diseases is internal disharmony: conventionally speaking, a person suffers, he feels bad, even if everything is good around him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

And this \"bad\" triggers the mechanism of disease formation, from which he will suffer even more - until he deals with his inner world. Let's consider the causes of both rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rheumatoid arthritis.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to research, many patients rheumatoid arthritis<\/strong> in difficult situations, there's an increased muscle tone. The person literally tenses up. This indicates that the patient with joint rheumatism, carries his conflicts mainly on muscular reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Mental stressors that cause tension primarily include: relationship crises, death and loss of loved ones, problems with personal authority, and family conflicts.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

Virtually all patients with rheumatoid arthritis have the following character traits: obliging, over-conscientiousness, outward compliant, combined with a tendency to suppress aggressive impulses (e.g., anger or rage). They are also characterized by manifestations of masochism, expressed in the need for self-sacrifice, combined with manifestations of supermorality and depression. Globally speaking, a person suffers from a lack of balance between hardness and softness. There is a tendency to self-limitation in relationships, own body, social behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a person with rheumatoid arthritis recognizes himself in this description, he needs to consult a psychologist, because getting rid of the disease is possible only as a result of working through internal states. Consultation with a psychologist will help to understand yourself and realize the causes of such a bodily reaction. Already this alone relieves the person's condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"spinal<\/span><\/figure>Fibromyalgia.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Characteristic symptoms: lower back pain, \"stiff shoulder blades\", \"shooting\". Localization and symptomatology are variable, objective signs of inflammation are absent. Most often symptoms are localized in the lower back area<\/strong> and the brachio-occipital region. People suffering from back pain often feel an inner conflict between stability and self-indulgence, egoism and sacrifice, aggressiveness and gentleness. The consequence of such contradictory emotions is muscle tension in the area of the lumbar and cervical vertebrae (most often), which further leads to pain. A situation in which a person mobilizes the body and manifests the restrained aggressive impulses will help to relieve the condition in this case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

People with fibromyalgia suffer from anxiety and depression, are prone to addiction, require care, and are capable of self-sacrifice.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Perfectionists by nature, they may demonstrate increased self-control, suppress natural aggressive impulses, and try to compensate for resentment and disappointment with so-called \"inner resilience\". While seemingly modest and docile, preferring to suffer quietly and avoiding direct confrontations with others, such people nevertheless often try to impose \"their truth\" on others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only a psychologist or psychotherapist can help a person whose illness has \"mental\" causes. After all, the rule \"find and eliminate the cause - the symptoms will disappear on their own\" is still relevant - both in psychology and in classical medicine. Thus, to realize the cause of the disease requires psychotherapy, which will help the person to deal with the main conflicts that caused the development of the disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with a psychologist will help the client learn to express his\/her aggression and protest more constructively, create a positive self-image, increase self-esteem and, as a result, self-confidence. Timely referral to a specialist can rid a person of the disease and\/or prevent its development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
