Unpacking the Load: How Your Back Reflects Emotional Baggage
Have you ever wondered why tension or pain often settles in your back? Beyond physical strain, your back may reveal hidden emotional patterns and unspoken struggles.
In this video series, part 1 of Decoding The Body, we discuss how the back symbolizes the "weight we carry"-responsibilities, burdens, and suppressed emotions we often push behind us, out of sight but not out of mind.
Key topics covered:
Why Psychosomatics?
By recognizing the body as a reflection of our inner world, psychosomatic therapy helps individuals uncover and release stored emotional patterns, traumas, and stress that can contribute to chronic pain or tension. This therapy promotes healing, self-awareness, and emotional well-being through techniques like body awareness, emotional processing, and somatic exercises.
How Does the Pain Develop Over Time?
Lower back pain often develops as a result of unprocessed emotions, like financial stress, fears about stability, or feelings of insecurity. Over time, these emotions accumulate and manifest physically as the body attempts to signal unresolved tension and emotional weight.
Why Does the Back Hold Pain?
The back serves as the body's “support system,” making it a natural place to store the burdens we suppress or avoid addressing. It holds the emotional weight of what we "carry" in life, reflecting responsibilities, fears, and stress that we subconsciously push out of sight.
