Transferring Symptoms

The hidden process of stuffing down emotions into 
your body is also called
"psycho-somatic."
"Soma" means body in Latin.
When you psycho-somaticise, you are transferring
your emotional and mental state into your body, 
and it manifests as physical symptoms.
When you don't face and feel your emotions directly 
and consciously,
your body starts to speak for you through symptoms.
Many people psycho-somaticize 
and 
they don't even know it.
It starts when an emotion
arises in them that they don't want
or
are scared to experience fully.
But instead of allowing themselves to feel those emotions,
they'll ignore them.
