According to John Kappas, Ph.D.,
whenever a person represses or holds in (does not express) an emotion the
displaced energy from that experience is converted into a physical “symptom” of
that emotional trauma. Even though there are no nerve endings in the brain,
emotions in the brain through our perceptions
(e.g., smell, taste, sight, hearing, touch). Electric impulses carry this
information through the body and begin to manifest physical discomfort in those
areas that are specifically associated with a certain repressed emotion, the
Hypnosis Motivation Institute founder stated. The five basic body syndromes
are:
·
Crying Syndrome (affects the neck, chest
and head): What do you want to say or express?
·
Fight/Reaching Syndrome (affects the arms
and hands): What do you want to defend yourself from? What are you reaching
for?
·
Flight Syndrome (affects the legs and
feet): What do you feel you need to run away from?
·
Guilt/Sexual Frustration Syndrome (affects
areas and organs around the waist, lower back and hips): What do you feel
guilty about? What is going on in your relationship?
·
Responsibility Syndrome (affects areas
and organs around the shoulders and upper back): What do you feel responsible
for?
As a certified
hypnotherapist, it is out of my scope of expertise to diagnose an illness or to
recognize/identify specific symptoms that have a psychological or physiological
basis. Therefore, I do and will refer
clients to an appropriate licensed medical or psychology professional to
determine the cause and/or treat that specific physical symptom that. However, once
this other expert has ruled out a medical etiology of your symptom, with a
follow-up referral from that licensed professional, I can continue to work with
you in hypnotherapy, which can provide complementary therapeutic benefits and
help to alleviate and/or control these symptoms and help you to pursue and
achieve your vocational and avocational self-improvement goals.
