I once complained to my biochemist friend about a sore throat and in response I suddenly heard: "Probably, you can not tell something to close people, you have negative emotions, you swallow them, and that's why you have a sore throat". At this point, I really restrained the emotions that had rolled on the scientifically-minded person and choked on tea. Yes, psychosomatics exists, and doctors regularly see such patients, including ENT.

But guys, let's think critically and deal with each mystical thesis separately. Approximately as we did for four widely-spread states.

MYTH 1. ABOUT THE EARLY NAIL AND MOVEMENT FORWARD

Psychosomatics.

An ingrown toenail personifies the constant anxiety, anxiety and guilt of a person about whether he has the right to move forward in life, into the future. Affirmations from ingrown nails:

I myself freely and easily choose the direction of my movement forward, into the future.

They need to be repeated daily two times a day for 15-20 times for three months.

Most psychologists agree that this pathology is related to the fact that a person is not able to let go of his past, he lives by him, ignoring the present and the future.

In this situation, in order to get rid of an ingrown nail, it is necessary to resort to the help of a professional psychologist. " A rational approach, by the way! It is aimed at increasing the personal income of a psychologist.

SCIENTIFIC VIEW

The ingrown nail has no psychosomatic nature. Dot. In scientific publications of recent decades on the subject of ingrown nails, only materialistic causes of nail growth are described: deformities of the feet, improper cutting of the nail corners, wearing tight shoes,

An instructive example of the creation of psychosomatic myths, we can observe due to the experience of Jules Masserman - an outstanding American psychiatrist with psychoanalytic education. In the early fifties he wrote a satirical article about an ingrown nail called "Psychosomatic Profile of an Ingrown Toe Nail" (Psychosomatic Profile of an Ingrown Toe Nail). His aim was to ridicule the excessive symbolism of the Freudians.

The article was published in the journal American Journal of Psychiatry. The toe of the thumb on the leg, according to Jules, undoubtedly symbolizes the penis - it forms the protruding part of the body, solid, oblong rounded, makes the same movements when walking. It is also important that the nail grows from the female in fact and the shape of the nail bed, which is called a bed by chance nail-bed

The nail, the edge of its ingrown finger in the flesh, is nothing but an erect and frustrated phallus stretching back to its mother's cradle-skin.

There is an oedipus complex of penis-nail, which is realized when life-related obstacles arise or under the pressure of tight shoes. Well, etc. It is worth saying that the enthusiastic colleagues of psychoanalysts and psychologists did not feel a trick: they began to congratulate Jules on success and praise for insight.

MYTH 2. ON INFERTILITY AND THE CARPET OF UNCONSCIOUS

Psychosomatics.

I think it's no secret to anyone that the reasons for not being able to conceive are in the realm of the psychic, not the physical. Of course, bodily changes will be in any case, since the brain will give the command to change the body so that it can not become pregnant. - Actually, check and checkmate for all reproductive medicine.

The first reason is a special program of bodily changes that cause obstruction of the uterine tube.

Do you know that infertil
