Psychosomatics, brain and art therapy

Many already know that psychosomatics is a complex, multifactorial and ambiguous phenomenon. Most classical doctors often send their patients to psychologists and psychotherapists, realizing the fact that treatment in conventional protocols is useless. My practice as a psychologist (25 years) gives me the opportunity to express dubious thoughts that require empirical evidence, but at the same time are important for understanding the practices of psychosomatic psychologists. And today I want to outline my observations about pain.

The brain is a great ally of a psychologist or his most powerful enemy. It is designed in such a way that it constantly evaluates the signals entering it, deciding how serious the danger is and whether immediate action should be taken. Thus, if a psychologist enters dangerous territory with his questions or suggestions of a creative act, you will be notified by pain or its mild form – discomfort in the change of state.

Having received an alarm signal, the brain immediately tries to answer the main question: “How dangerous is this all really?”. And if it is dangerous, the client will definitely not be able to understand what he sees or feels in his drawing or creative product, and will put up pain in defense of integrity. This means that he is not ready to live with a new reality. Therefore, my approach to art therapy is joy and interest, through these emotions it is much easier to penetrate into hidden systems and activate them in a relaxed way, without breaking through protective systems. Interest is stronger than pain. Many important stimuli in our brain leave no room for reactions to pain syndromes. When we are in the euphoria of the interesting, the brain chooses pleasure, not suffering. I think you know this: when we are passionate, we do not get hurt.

In assessing the situation, our central processor uses all the information available to it: from subjective, coming from our past experience, to objective, obtained from the whole complex of physical and chemical parameters of the organism. Our experience – a universal encyclopedia of our automated reactions – provides us with a format for individual perception of the world and, as a result, responses to it. Thus, an event, or even a memory of it, can trigger a multiple pain response, often of the head.

Having received a signal, the brain sends “instructions” to the nerve endings on how to behave. Therefore, in art therapy, we so often meet different forms of different psychosomatic responses to materials. Here are a few examples: working with clay makes you sick – clay is a very physical material, and it can often be assumed that a person has had pains associated with violations of the boundaries of his physical body; colors make you dizzy – because they are unstable and dynamic, it is difficult to keep them under control. This aspect of the response can give the psychologist information that the client’s pain is just a form of self-control that is convenient and understandable to him. And there are a lot of such observations among practitioners of art therapy. But we know that if there is one mechanism, then there is its reverse side, when the creative process removes and minimizes the manifestations of physical pain.

Learn more about psychosomatics and art therapy in our educational project. In the autumn of this year – a set of a new stream.
I will be glad to learn the secrets of man and his work with you.

Psychosomatics, brain and art therapy

Many people already know that psychosomatics is a complex, multifactorial and ambiguous phenomenon. Most of the classical doctors often turn their patients to psychologists and psychotherapists, ascertaining the fact of the quality of the jubilation in their protocols. My practice as a psychologist (25 years) gives me the opportunity to express doubtful thoughts, as well as to use empirical evidence, but at the same time it is important for understanding the practices of psychosomatic psychologists. Today I want to voice my own warnings about the battle.

The brain is a miraculous ally of a psychologist, or yoga is the most intense enemy. Vіn vlastovaniya so, scho constantly evaluate the signals, yakі need to go to the new, virishuyuchi, on the scale of serious є nebezpeka and chi varto to get used to negainny zahodіv. So, if a psychologist, with his nourishment or propositions of a creative act, enters an unsafe territory, you will be given more knowledge, or else in an easy form – I will become discomfort through change.

Otrimavshi an alarming signal, the brain negainally smears words on the head of food: “Is it really not safe?”. And even though it’s not safe, the client definitely can’t understand those who want to either stare at their little one or creative product, and put the bill on the defense of integrity. And that means that the new one has no readiness to live with a new reality. Therefore, my inspiration in art therapy is joy and interest, through these emotions it is easier to penetrate into the attachments of the systems and activate them in an imperceptible way, without breaking through the systems. Strongest interest for bіl. Insignificant important stimuli in our brain do not leave room for reactions of pain syndromes. If we are in the euphoria of cicada, the brain chooses malt, not suffering. I think you all know: if we get hickeyed, we don’t get sick.

In the assessment of the situation, our central processor is corroborated by all the information that is obvious to the new one: from the subjective, which comes from our past information, to the objective, which is removed from the whole complex of physical and xi mychnyh powers of the body. Our dosvid – a universal encyclopedia of our automated reactions – will provide us with the format of an individual response to the world and, like a legacy, a reaction to the new. In this rank, if you think about it, you can call out a multiple pain reaction, often your head.

Otrimavshi signal, the brain corrects “statements” nervous endings about those, how to behave to yourself. That is why in art therapy we so often draw on different forms of different psychosomatic response to materials. The axis of the kіlka priklіdіv: vіd kіlka z clay to compel — clay is also a physical material, and it is often possible to admit that a person had pain, connected with damage between її physical body; in the farb the head is confused – even the stench is not stable and dynamic, it’s easy to take it down under control. This aspect of the response can give the psychologist information about what the client had – only a form of self-control, easy and understandable to you. I such guards – the force is strong in the practice of art therapy. But we know that there is only one mechanism – it means that it is a turning point, if the process of creativity is known and minimized, manifest physical pain.

More about psychosomatics and art therapy – on our lighting project. Autumn tsgogo rock – nabіr new flow.
I would be glad to know the secret people and її creativity together with you.
