The relationship between the body and the mental state of a person has long been
established, so active research in this area helps significantly expand the
possibilities of psychotherapeutic treatment. Bodily-oriented therapy acts as an
independent direction in psychology, while having a clear concept and a variety of
practical developments.
"The body remembers everything" - this is one of the laws of body-oriented
psychotherapy. The body retains all the memories and emotions we experienced.
Feelings and fears that a person ignores result in health problems and if you
continue to ignore them, more and more such problems will be added. Each part of
the body is responsible for certain human fears and depending on where unpleasant
feelings occur; you can determine what a person is afraid of. Our Consciousness
does not want to recognize some feelings, so they scatter around the body and settle
in certain places. This mechanism in psychology has been dubbed "displacement."
In the Unconscious, painful experiences, thoughts and memories, including human
fears, are supplanted. To remind themselves, they are transformed into diseases, so
hidden feelings try to draw attention to themselves.
