The roots of all problems are in our head. This close relationship between the psyche and the body is scientifically proven. Most likely, you have noticed this situation more than once: an old forgotten problem pops up, and with it the body begins to make itself felt. A chronic disease worsens, the temperature rises or an allergy begins. This is a clear sign that the disease is psychosomatic. Are the concepts of the eye and psychosomatics also related?
What it is?
Psychosomatic illness is a name that speaks for itself. These are the diseases whose causes lie in our psyche. And this does not mean that we ourselves invent diseases. Not at all. They are real. But the reason for the appearance is not only the ingestion of a viral infection in the body or the lack of the necessary hormone or vitamin. Everything is much deeper and more serious.
The human body adapts to mood and thoughts. Many people do not even realize that the human body is a convenient means of feedback. The nature of a person’s thoughts is directly reflected in his body area. On a negative thought, the body signals pain and discomfort.
Where is the root of psychosomatics buried?
The past of a person directly affects the formation of his personality. If you want to get rid of some negative character trait, you need to work through episodes of the past. As soon as a person turns to a psychologist with such problems, it turns out that you need to work with fears, beliefs, sexual complexes, resentment and mental trauma. Most often, a person has a whole “bouquet” in his mind, which is high time to throw it in the bin. Health and this “bouquet” of fears, complexes and grievances are closely related to each other.
What about the eyes? In psychosomatics, a lot of attention is paid to the organs of vision. Eyes are a vital organ through which we perceive the world around us and ourselves in it. It is through them that the human brain receives certain information.
There are a lot of diseases associated with vision. It happens that even an experienced doctor can not find the cause of the development of the disease. In this case, it should be remembered that the eyes and psychosomatics are closely related to each other.
Psychotherapist Valery Sinelnikov, American psychologist Louise Hey and Canadian philosopher Liz Burbo believe that emotions are the cause of all diseases. Because, expressing emotions, a person spends a lot of energy. The main emotion is fear. It is he who immediately manifests itself in the gaze and affects vision.
Psychosomatics of eye diseases
Psychologists who have studied over the years the influence of emotional factors on the occurrence and course of bodily ailments claim that any disease is associated with a person’s moral state. Most often, the disease manifests itself precisely at the moment when a certain “failure” occurs in the brain, provoked by:
- ulcers;
- vegetovascular dystonia;
- pathology of the eyes.
Psychosomatic eye disorders occur due to such factors:
- genetic;
- injuries and diseases;
- wrong visual habits (working behind a computer monitor at close range, reading in the dark or in moving vehicles).
The root of the problem, according to the psychosomatics of ophthalmic diseases, is that a person receives information from the outside world, which causes him psychological discomfort. On a subconscious level, he wants to change the outside world.
For example, if a child has myopia, then psychologists believe that the problem lies in the family: frequent conflicts between parents or too strict upbringing. Under the influence of these factors, the child experiences constant stress. He cannot overcome it on his own. As a protection, a signal is sent to the child’s brain: “dull” the discomfort from what is happening.
Another situation is also possible: the child was brought up in a favorable family atmosphere. He received love and care from his parents. As soon as the baby goes to the garden or school, he is stressed, because more stringent requirements are already imposed on him. It is difficult for him to build relationships with peers. Against the background of a stressful situation, a child may develop myopia (myopia). The kid sees well only those objects that are next to him. But in the distance, the "picture" is blurred. Subconsciously, the child is hiding from a hostile world.
Many researchers have proven that people who are used to taking everything that happens close to their hearts often worry about their eyes. Psychosomatics, as a science, explains this by the fact that the emotional state of a person negatively affects his organs of vision.
To determine specific negative factors that influenced the development of an ophthalmic disease, you need to consider each ailment separately.
About myopia
People who have developed myopia (see well near, but poorly in the distance) are usually egocentric. In addition to focusing on themselves, they are headlong immersed in their family and close friends. It is difficult for them to make plans for the future and predict the outcome.
Patients with this problem tend to judge others by idealizing themselves.
Many experts are sure that myopia in an adult develops as a way to hide from obvious problems. The human nervous system compensates for psychological instability. Moreover, this judgment is scientifically proven on a number of facts.
How to treat myopia?
Of course, only an experienced ophthalmologist will provide qualified assistance. Treatment should be comprehensive and include:
- spectacle therapy;
- installation of drugs;
- gymnastics for the eyes;
- rejection of bad habits;
- surgical method.
The second step should be taken by the person himself - to eliminate the psychological problem. There are several ways to take a step towards the eradication of the psychological “complex”:
- attend a session with a psychologist;
- read the list of literature recommended by the specialist;
- change the angle of perception of the world: from negative to positive;
- try to immediately eliminate the problems that provoke an uncomfortable psychological state;
- go in for sports or dancing (any hobby);
- adjust your daily routine and diet.
The most important step in psychological treatment is to eliminate the fear that gnaws a person from the inside. Of great importance is the sincere desire of a person to cope with an ophthalmic problem.
Why does farsightedness develop?
Hyperopia is a defect in the visual apparatus, in which a person sees objects well at a long distance, and very poorly near. Most often, a similar pathology occurs in mature people.
Psychologists who study psychosomatics note that hyperopia can develop in a person due to the fact that he is not interested in ordinary life. He is more worried about global long-term plans. As a matter of fact, therefore he “sharply” sees a picture of his future (far away).
People suffering from farsightedness adhere to such a creed in life: "I want everything at once." Usually they do not pay attention to important details.
Experienced ophthalmologists and psychologists have noticed that hyperopia develops in narcissistic women of 40-50 years old who are too fixated on their appearance. If this fact is considered from the point of view of psychology, then a woman, observing age-related changes on her face closely in the mirror, perceives in a negative way. Therefore, in the reflection of the whole "picture" she is still, as they say, "hoo."
How to overcome farsightedness?
A person must learn to accept himself for who he is. The key to the future is an optimistic attitude towards oneself and towards life in general.
It is important to learn to accept others around with all their advantages and disadvantages.
Psychologists give an important recommendation to people with farsightedness: you need to learn how to enjoy the little things in life before “immersing” in planning for the future.
Causes of Astigmatism
This is a serious ophthalmic disease in which a person cannot see clearly. The "picture" before the eyes is always blurred. In order to consider it, you need to focus for a long time and strain your eyesight.
The psychosomatic cause of astigmatism is that patients think so: "there is my opinion and the wrong." They do not even want to hear other points of view.
Astigmatism is the reaction of the body to events that have occurred in human life. Surely, the past still brings him heartache.
What to do? Run to the psychologist. An experienced specialist will develop an individual program for his client, which necessarily includes the following items:
- The search for psychological trauma that deeply “buried” in the human soul and “lives” on the level of the subconscious.
- Identify the origins of the development of pathology. To analyze the events that have occurred.
In addition to psychological assistance, you can not postpone the trip to the ophthalmologist. It is important to constantly do gymnastics for the eyes.
Why does barley appear?
Viruses, bacteria, a weak immune system are the three main factors that trigger the occurrence of barley. Rarely, specialists with the appearance of this ailment see the cause in psychosomatics. However, if a person is constantly worried about barley, then perhaps the root of the problem lies precisely in the psychological state of the person.
How does this state of psychosomatics explain ? Barley in the right eye is associated by psychologists with the character of a person. The disease is inherent in impatient, sharp and rather "explosive" people. It is difficult for them to accept someone else's point of view. Therefore, they are accustomed to take the reins of government in their own hands and control "everyone and everything." The right eye suffers most often. Barley defines psychosomatics as a view of life through the eyes of anger. Perhaps anger at a particular person. If a child often has barley, then at a subconscious level he does not want to see what is happening in his family.
Psychologists advise accepting one fact: people are all different and have the right to their opinion. It is impossible to equal everyone under one comb. Need to give free space to other people.
Glaucoma
This is a serious disease that includes more than one ailment. With glaucoma, strong intraocular pressure is diagnosed. It can appear from time to time, and can be disturbing constantly.
A characteristic sign of glaucoma is severe pain in the eyeball. Literally, it is very painful for a person to watch.
Psychologists believe that increased eye pressure is the result of a person suppressing his inner self. He puts a lock on his true desires.
Another important point of the psychosomatic cause of glaucoma: old unforgiveable insults “press” on a person: on fate, relatives, the Most High.
All factors influence the fact that at a subconscious level it is painful for a person to perceive reality through the eyes. A certain signal is sent to the brain. As a result - increased visual pressure.
In such a situation, you should immediately seek help from a psychologist. In the process of applying special techniques, a person will be able to learn the technique of complete relaxation. For patients with glaucoma, it is useful to do yoga, breathing practice. Psychologists also recommend that you try to change your attitude to the world and start to enjoy the little things.
Cataract
In this ophthalmic disease, the optic lens is partially or completely cloudy.
Psychologists identify such reasons:
- Past mistakes - at a subconscious level, a person tries to forget about negative experiences by “clouding” their memories.
- Fear of the future - it is difficult for a patient to imagine what his future will be like. As a result, it is dull and unpromising.
- Identification of character traits: people suffering from cataracts lack attention, good nature and optimism.
- Aggression - an eye disease can develop due to the hostile attitude of a person to the surrounding reality.
- Negative - a person for a long time can’t come to terms with certain events that happened in life. As a result, cataracts develop.
Of course, the patient urgently needs to seek help from an experienced ophthalmologist. Usually, traditional treatment includes the appointment of special eye drops, which contain vitamins and amino acids. It is possible to completely eliminate cataract with the help of surgical intervention.
Dry eye symptom
This is a defect in which an insufficient amount of tear fluid is produced.
Pathology is manifested as follows:
- itching
- burning sensation;
- irritation.
Psychologists note that the disease manifests itself in stinging people who tend to taunt others. Another important reason: the patient is not able to show a feeling of love for the outside world. And he simply does not notice the love that is directed towards him.
In some cases, dry eyes occur against the background of intolerance and irritability in relation to another person.
Strabismus
This is a defect in eye coordination. When it is fixed on one subject is difficult. When a person sees well with both eyes, then one picture is synchronously superimposed on the other. A clear sign of an ophthalmic disease is the asymmetric arrangement of the corneas with respect to the edges and corners of the eyelids.
From the point of view of psychology, strabismus is a person’s ability to see two different images from different angles. On the subconscious, you must choose one. With this process, a one-sided view of a certain thing is formed.
If the child has strabismus, then this is the result of parenting. Mother says one thing and father says another. It’s very difficult for a child to choose whose requirements are more important. As a result, strabismus.
If an adult has strabismus, then this means that a person looks with one eye into reality, and with the other - into illusion. From the point of view of psychosomatics, it is a fear to look at the present.
Keratitis
In this ophthalmic disease, the cornea of ​​the eye becomes inflamed. Keratitis clearly demonstrates that there is too much anger and anger “living” in a person.
Psychosomatics connects eye inflammation with the desire to beat and pound everyone around. A person behaves so aggressively and angrily in real life that it manifests itself externally. However, the person himself subconsciously persuades himself that he is not angry. This struggle between real and subconscious anger is expressed in keratitis.
The only rational solution is to consult a psychologist. The problem is anger. You need to learn how to express it correctly.
Retinal detachment
With this ophthalmic problem, the retina is separated from the tissue due to tears. The gap is a reflection of intense anger at what a person saw.
Psychologists attribute the disease to the fact that a person has too many destructive emotions, namely jealousy, contempt, arrogance.
Nervous tic eye: psychosomatics
With nervous tic, the muscles of the eyes involuntarily contract. Specialists highlight such reasons:
- psychological trauma;
- neurological disease;
- chronic fatigue syndrome;
- increased anxiety.
Psychologists say that the appearance of a tick is due to the fact that a person is constantly under stress and looks at what he does not like. For example, family conflicts, problems at work.
What to do if the eye twitches? Psychosomatics finds one explanation for this condition - this is the effect of stress or fear. Perhaps you traced the coincidence of difficult life situations with the tick of the eye. It is important to understand what caused this condition. As soon as you find out and learn to accept the whole situation, the nervous tick of the eye will pass.
It often happens that since childhood the eye twitches. Psychosomatics, as a branch of medicine, indicates that this is a consequence of “love” by parents or, conversely, due to a lack of love. Usually a similar situation arises in those families in which both parents are very busy with work. Parental love was replaced by money. The child gradually forms a deep resentment towards his parents. If the left eye twitches, psychosomatics explains this by insulting its parents. Growing up, the child begins to make a complaint to them.
Experts in the field of psychosomatics claim that this ailment can be overcome independently, even without going to the doctor. If you do not believe the theory of practice, then the only way out is to use the services of classical medicine.
Allergy
. – , . , . .
. . Do you know why? : « ». .
If you follow this logic, then the phrases “I can’t see him” or “It would be better if my eyes didn’t see you” provoke a person to develop eye allergies. Psychosomatics, as a science, warns that it is important to be tolerant.
Most often, the allergy is not completely cured. It manifests itself depending on certain situations. Then the only "salvation" of the patient is to stop the onset of allergies with drugs.
Psychosomatics offers psychotherapy. Perhaps you should in addition to an allergist consult a psychologist. Perhaps this is a matter of past negative experiences that people cannot forget.
Edema
Psychosomatics associates eye swelling with constant sadness. Gradually, regular edema leads to fullness. Since the fluid accumulates in the epithelium, and then turns into tissue tumors.
A depressed psychological state, a sense of inferiority, unfulfilled and resentfulness - these are the causes of puffiness, according to psychosomatics. Eye lids constantly swelling? This is a signal that there are many unfulfilled tears of the soul.
Swelling can occur due to the inability to restore justice. Such dissatisfaction with oneself accumulates and translates into a serious ophthalmological problem.
Bags under the eyes. Psychosomatics
Permanent bruising under the eyes. The reason is too thin skin near the eyes, through which capillaries of a bluish tint are visible. To some people, such a “gift” was inherited. Any grandmother will say that the cause is a kidney problem.
Another point of view is advanced by the science of psychosomatics. Eyelids swell and bruises appear? The reason is a violation of the emotional sphere. Kidneys make themselves felt. Why? Stress, resentment, fatigue accumulated over the years, constant criticism ... All these factors affect our internal state.
In order to calm the emotional background, you need to give yourself new attitudes (affirmations):
- I am the master of my life.
- I love life with all its shortcomings, problems and people.
- I accept people for who they are.
- I am grateful for every day I lived and all the hard trials that made me only stronger.
Rebuild your thinking in a different way is very difficult. However, this is the only psychological “cure” for bags under the eyes.
Which eye bothers: right or left?
If the eye hurts, psychosomatics gives an explanation for this. There are many intrapersonal problems associated with these organs. Does the eye hurt? Psychosomatics interprets this as follows: a person has many problems, to which he closes his eyes. Perhaps he is afraid of losing someone or something in life. Therefore, an eye disease is a kind of shield between itself and the surrounding world.
Does the left eye bother you? Psychosomatics connects this with the fact that a person is focused on himself. Roughly speaking, he is an egocentric. Perhaps this person has become under the influence of the mother. Psychosomatics connects the left eye with the feminine. The left side is considered feminine.
Psychosomatics the right eye is in focus "I - in the world." That is how a person sees and feels in the outside world. This form is associated with the influence of the father. Psychosomatics the right eye relates to the right side, and it is the masculine principle.
Due to shock, injury
Self-injury is sabotage against oneself. On a subconscious level, a person punishes himself. For what? For an absurd stupid act, spoken word, betrayal. There can be many reasons. The most common reason is a mismatch to the outside world. A person does not accept himself as he is. He can "sprinkle his head with ashes" only because he did not live up to the hopes that rested on him. In this case, outwardly, a person may seem quite prosperous. However, self-trauma shows the attitude of the individual to himself. This is studying psychosomatics. An injury to the eye caused to oneself is anger at oneself.
Why Vision Falls: Psychological Subtext
Vision falls on the background of psychological injuries experienced by a person. Most often observed in elderly people. They are nostalgic for their youth and look ahead with enthusiasm.
The anger of a person is amplified by any trifle. As a result, a decrease in visual acuity. The more a person shows aggression to the outside world, the faster his vision falls.
The main psychosomatic reason is loneliness. An elderly lonely man closes himself from people and sends a signal to the brain that he needs to “hide” as soon as possible. As a result, loss of vision.
When we look into the eyes of another person, we exchange energy flow. He is able to arouse love. No wonder they say: "Love at first sight." Anger, fear, pain, suppression of emotions - everything is displayed in our eyes. These are destructive emotions. They spoil both physical health and moral.
Negative emotions are like a connecting thread to fear, which is on the subconscious. As a result, health problems, in particular, vision suffers.
Work on yourself will help to heal from eye diseases. Realize that all health problems come from the head. Our thinking is directly reflected in our physical and spiritual condition. Analyze your thoughts. What do you think most often? What emotions do you feel? Perhaps, "plunging" into yourself, you can find the psychosomatic cause of the existing problem. After all, it is easier to eliminate the cause of the disease than to constantly combat its effect. Take care of your health and thoughts!
