Psychosomatics

Psychosomatics is a field that explores the connections between our psyche and our body. We can think of the psyche as a vast space that encompasses everything we think about or experience. All of this is stored within us, even if we are not thinking about it or even remembering it. If such experiences are or have been threatening, they may have caused extreme stress to our organism. We may subconsciously try to suppress such experiences, but that's where the body comes in and reacts all the more strongly the more we resist the natural reaction.
