A study published in the August issue of the journal Pediatrics, suggests that psychological abuse can be just as damaging to a child’s physical, emotional, and mental health, as other forms of maltreatment, including physical and sexual abuse.
The literature in the field of MindBody Medicine has reported similar findings for decades. One example of compelling evidence in support of the emotional energy connection to physical disease comes from the work of Dr. Geerd Hamer.
Dr. Hamer showed that emotional shock can be read as distinct markings in CT scans of the brain … and further that the location in the brain predicts where disease will be experienced in the body. We use this information in our META-Medicine consultations.
As I suggested in the title, psychological pain becomes our biology … unless it is addressed and resolved. The loss of a job, the heartbreak of a broken relationship, the death of a loved one, or the gut wrenching fear of an alarming diagnosis … all have the ability to create shock that has an impact on physical or emotional health.
Since emotional shock and trauma are so prevalent … it’s necessary to have a self-help toolbox … so you can prevent shock from becoming physical, or emotional illness.
Some of the most effective approaches for resolving shock involve the body, either directly or indirectly. Perhaps this is because the biological energy that’s triggered by emotional shock is trapped … in the body.
A number of Self-Regulation strategies and Energy Medicine modalities, many that can be used at home, are easily learned and very effective for self-healing. You can read about a variety of these approaches on this website. An interesting overview of MindBody Medicine research can be found in the article Take Back Your Power to Heal.
