Did you know that not all pain is caused by illness?
Some of them are strongly linked to our emotions. But how do these repressed emotions act on certain parts of the body?
In this article, we will look at 11 types of pain that are directly related to your emotions. Then we will finish by giving some ideas to overcome these emotional problems.
Emotions and their consequences on our body
Emotion is characterized as a state of turmoil or agitation in the face of a situation that one is going through. It occurs suddenly and fleetingly. More or less intense, it is accompanied by physical or physiological reactions.
She lives in negative emotion and unpleasant, when it causes us concern. This is the case with fear, sadness or shame. She becomes a positive emotion and pleasant if it makes us happy, like joy or love. Finally, it turns into a restorative emotion to affirm self-esteem, such as anger.
Today, most scientists (1) consider emotions to be specific reactions that make it possible to adapt to a specific situation. For example, we experience fear in the face of danger and joy in the face of a happy event.
Stress is the body’s nonspecific adaptation response to any positive or negative external stimulation. Today, everyone knows that it is the cause of psychosomatic illnesses or chronic pain.
The pains described occur when we suppress our emotions. In other words, we pretend we don’t feel any pain and everything is fine.
For example, we run away from our emotions for fear of facing grief or separation, or of daring to say what we don’t like.
The solution is to learn to manage your emotions to reduce your discomfort. This is the ultimate goal of all emotional therapy, I admit it’s easier said than done.
To support you in this process, you can call on several disciplines: Chinese medicine, acupuncture, sophrology, personal development, psychoanalysis …
Before resorting to therapies or alternative medicines, check with your doctor that there is no purely physical cause for this pain.

Whenever a relationship with others triggers an emotion, we should take note of the damage, injuries and responsibilities of each. Then we should repair ourselves, otherwise we will lose our self-confidence and become vulnerable.
