Pain is not just a reaction of the body, but a way of communication between our body and our Soul. Everyone knows: when you are happy, there is no pain, and even if there is for objective reasons, then its intensity is felt much lower than usual. So, I will try to suggest a conditional relationship between pain and mental state. I’ll make a reservation right away – these are just observations from practice and a small cut of my personal experience working with psychosomatic clients.
acute pain
Acute pain is defined as pain of short duration with an easily identifiable cause.
Acute pain is a warning to the body about the current danger of organic damage or disease. Often persistent and sharp pain is also accompanied by a feeling of aching pain.
Acute pain is usually concentrated in a certain area before it somehow spreads wider. This type of pain usually responds well to treatment.
Acute pain is a conditional cry of the soul. If before that there were no causes and forerunners of the disease, then it can be assumed that this is a critical, crisis form, signaling the need for urgent intervention or urgent changes.Such a quick and strong reaction of protest may have a rather early nature, when only one form of communication with the world was available to the child – screaming and crying. And if we draw a parallel, then from the point of view of psychosomatics, this can symbolize a certain form of regression.
In the psychotherapeutic aspect, regressivity may indicate an increased need for trust and a sense of inner satisfaction.
The need for care and unconditional acceptance, not satisfied in early relationships by parents, becomes the object of research and development in the psychotherapeutic space. In the client’s life, unsatisfied basic needs can manifest themselves in the form of somatizations, leading to sensations of acute physical pain localized in various organs.One can often observe a sharp onset of an acute headache in the course of the psychological work of our main “analytical” organ, aimed at understanding (or eliminating understanding) what is happening. This pain can hide ideas, images, emotional reactions, revelations or memories of a traumatic nature, spontaneous insights, suppression of important psychological material.
When we understand this mechanism, the question arises of what to do and what therapeutic tactics we should adopt when we encounter such a psychosomatic reaction. And in this case, I think it is important to act in therapy in such a way as to “satisfy” the regressive defense mechanisms, just as a parent does with respect to his child.
Successful strategies in this situation will be: distraction to something more interesting; symbolic consolation; dialectical-figurative explanation; actualization of bodily attention to other forms of activity.
As a psychologist focused on the psychotherapeutic mechanisms of expressive creativity, I would like to suggest using visual methods of art therapy to solve this issue.What methods and forms of art therapy can be used with this form of protection:
Drawings of what will console;
Drawings of what will relieve pain;
Drawings of what will explain the pain;
Drawings of what will distract from the pain.These open motives for drawing will enable the client to realize their need in a creative form, relying not on the personality of a psychologist, to satisfy those hidden needs that caused acute pain, and to focus on their own creative process, overcoming regression by a conscious act of creativity.

I’ll try to dilate with warnings about bіl.
Bil is not just a reaction to the body, but a way of linking our body with our Soul. You should know: if you are happy, you don’t feel pain, and if you feel like it is due to objective reasons, then your intensity will sound richer, lower sound. Otzhe, I’ll try to let go of the mental interplay of pain and mental state. Once again, I’ll make it clear that I’m more careful about the practice and the small amount of my special certificate of work with psychosomatic clients.
Gostriy bіl
Gostriy bіl vyznaєtsya as a short one in an hour I will show bіl, the reason for which is easy to identify.
Gostriy bіl – tse advance to the body about the current ninth insecurity of organic disease or illness. Often stable and warm bіl accompany also feeling no pain.
Gostriy bіl zazvychay concentrate in the singing dilyantsі in front of him, as if by rank to expand wider. Tsey type of pain sing good likuvannyu.
Gostriy bіl – tse mental cry of the soul. If there were no reasons and causes of illness, then we can admit that it is critical, a crisis form, as it signals the need for a term introduction or a term change.Such a strong reaction to protest can mother early nature, if a child is available only one form of intercourse with light – crying and crying. And to draw a parallel, then from the point of view of psychosomatics, it can symbolize a single form of regression.
In the psychotherapeutic aspect, regression may be due to the strength of the need for confidence in the sense of internal satisfaction.
The need for turbo and insane acceptance, which is dissatisfied in the early days of the fathers, becomes an object of follow-up and treatment in the psychotherapeutic space. In the client’s life, dissatisfied basic needs can manifest themselves in apparent somatization, which leads to acute physical pain localized in other organs.It is often possible to predict the appearance of a sharp headache in the process of psychological work of our head “analytical” organ, directed to the understanding (or switching off the understanding) of what is perceived. Behind it, ideas, images, emotional reactions, revelations, or help to a traumatic character, spontaneous insights, strangulation of important psychological material can be developed.
If we understand this mechanism, blame the nutrition, what work and how therapeutic tactics we will win, if we are aware of such a psychosomatic reaction. I think it’s important to work in therapy in such a way as to “please” the regressive mechanisms of the defense, such a world, as if to shy away the fathers of their children.
The successful strategies in this situation will be: symbolic discord; dialectically-figurative explanation; actualization of bodily respect to other forms of activity.As a psychologist, orientated on the psychotherapeutic mechanisms of expressive creativity, I want to promote victorious art-therapy methods in the perfect nutrition. What are the methods and forms of art therapy can win for such a form of zahistu:
Little ones of what to instill;
Little ones of that which I knew;
Little things to explain bіl;
Little ones of the one that felt the pain.These motives for the little one give the client the opportunity to fulfill their needs in a creative form, relying not on the specialty of a psychologist, satisfying your needs, calling out the hospitality of the world, and increasing the emphasis on the author’s creative process, having improved the regression an act of creativity.
