Child psychosomatics

What disorders are psychosomatic? 

Psychosomatic disorders in children are physical illnesses caused by psychological causes. Psychosomatic disorders in children are mainly caused by high levels of stress in kindergarten and elementary school, difficulties in relationships with parents and classmates, as well as intrafamily conflicts. Children's internal conflicts and experiences are no less, and often even more acute, than those of an adult. These and other stress factors cause the child to experience such negative emotions as fear, sadness, sadness, etc. And it is precisely these kinds of emotions that are the link between the psychological and somatic spheres of a child's life. The situation is aggravated by the fact that often children's emotions are not understood by parents, caregivers, and teachers. They perceive them as a child's whim, which makes the child doubt his or her right to these experiences, and he or she begins to suppress them, displacing the conflict from consciousness into the subconscious, where it continues its destructive effect. 

 Adults often do not pay attention to children's feelings and emotions, caring primarily about the physical well-being and health of the child. But often, the more hothouse conditions are created for the child, the more parents take him to different doctors and use expensive medications to treat him, the worse the child's condition becomes. Scared, misunderstood, and forced to defend himself from the care of adults, the child, or rather his subconscious, aggravates and exacerbates the causes of physical illness. 

 Now a lot of parents are faced with the fact that their children are often sick with colds and viral diseases. Modern medicine explains it very simply: the child has a weak immune system. But why is the immune system of a young, full of life energy organism already weakened? And what will happen to this child in his 35-40 years? In reality, the cause of weakened immunity is psychological stress in a child's life, which manifests itself in the following main types of medical problems:

• Colds, SARS, runny nose, stuffy nose, cough, bronchitis - all these are consequences of a nervous atmosphere in the family, poor contact with close relatives, internal dissatisfaction and inability to change anything, repressed anger, no desire to be obedient.
• Or gastrointestinal problems - food poisoning, diarrhea, intestinal gas, which is a consequence of fear of aggressive environmental manifestations, the desire to get rid of unpleasant things as quickly as possible, an overabundance of information that presses the child, and he does not want to assimilate it.
