My world changed when I was first introduced to Psychosomatic Therapy, with profound insights into how I was exhausted by having two worlds. The world where I felt I had to be a particular way to fit in, and the second world being how I felt on the inside. Two worlds create exhaustion in the body; it masks anxiety, stress, fear, and many other emotions that we don’t particularly enjoy, nor do we want to show as vulnerability or weakness. Some of these attitudes come directly from making a decision “not to be like them,” and in doing so, rejecting a very important part of ourselves.
In this blog, I will explore further the world of Psychosomatics through my Body Awareness Training, an introduction to the emotional component of illness.

Healing Beyond Symptoms Understanding Emotional Causes of Physical Symptoms
When we experience physical discomfort or illness, it’s easy to focus solely on alleviating the immediate symptoms. Western medicine excels in this area, providing effective treatments for acute physical conditions. However, there’s a growing recognition that to achieve lasting wellness, we must delve into the emotional underpinnings of our ailments.
Physical symptoms often act as alarms, signalling unresolved emotional issues that need attention. Ignoring these emotional roots can lead to a cycle of persistent symptoms and the potential for additional complications from treatments that don’t address the core issues. True healing begins when we understand and address the emotional causes behind our physical conditions.
Integrating this emotional awareness with traditional medical treatments can accelerate and deepen our healing process. This holistic approach not only alleviates symptoms but transforms our overall well-being, helping us respond to life’s challenges with greater resilience.
The Role of Psychosomatics, Face, and Body Reading
Psychosomatics, along with face and body reading, offers profound tools for understanding the intricate messages our bodies convey. These practices view the physical body as a detailed reference book, filled with insights into our emotional and psychological states. By studying the body’s form and responses, practitioners can uncover deeper truths about a person’s emotional life and health.
Face Reading: Emotional Mirrors
Our faces are mirrors of our emotional history. Subtle lines, expressions, and features can reveal past experiences, unresolved conflicts, and habitual emotional responses. By interpreting these cues, practitioners can guide clients towards greater self-awareness and understanding of their emotional landscape.
Body Reading: Mapping Experiences
The body holds a map of our experiences and emotions. Posture, movement patterns, and chronic tension points can indicate how we have adapted to and internalised stress and trauma. Body reading allows for a deeper exploration of these patterns, providing valuable insights for directing a healing session.
These techniques are not just about observation—they form a roadmap for asking the right questions and guiding clients on a journey of self-discovery. By understanding the messages conveyed by the body, we can create more effective and personalized healing strategies.
Integrating Healing Approaches: A Holistic Perspective
Combining psychosomatic insights with traditional and complementary medicine creates a robust framework for healing. This integrated approach, often referred to as the healing tripod, involves:
- Allopathic Medicine: Addressing immediate physical symptoms and acute conditions.
- Complementary Therapies: Incorporating practices like acupuncture, chiropractic care, and energy work to support overall health and balance.
- Emotional Healing: Delving into the emotional causes of illness, facilitating profound self-discovery, and fostering lasting wellness.
Together, these approaches provide a comprehensive path to healing, recognizing that our bodies, minds, and emotions are deeply interconnected. Practitioners who embrace this holistic perspective can offer more profound and effective care, helping clients achieve true, lasting health.
Embrace Holistic Healing
Our bodies are more than just vessels for experiencing physical sensations—they are intricate maps that reflect our emotional and psychological states. By paying attention to the messages our bodies send and exploring the emotional roots of our ailments, we open the door to deeper healing and transformation.
Psychosomatics, face, and body reading are invaluable tools in this journey, providing insights that guide us towards greater self-awareness and holistic health. As we integrate these practices with traditional and complementary medicine, we create a powerful framework for healing that honours the whole person—body, mind, and spirit.
