Psychosomatics is a field of expertise that explores the connection between psychological factors and physical illnesses. It delves into how emotional, social, and psychological influences can impact health. As the boundary between the mind and body is fluid, they often interact reciprocally and often require a comprehensive approach to treatment. For instance, psychological factors such as increased stress levels can exacerbate symptoms of allergies, asthma, or coronary heart disease, and may hinder the healing process. Conversely, physical illnesses such as cancer or chronic systemic conditions can have a destabilizing effect on mental well-being and contribute to the development of clinically significant psychological distress.

During my psychotherapeutic sessions, I work closely with individuals who have physical illnesses, helping them understand the role psychological factors play in their condition. Together, we strategize ways to bolster positive mental influences, which can subsequently have a beneficial impact on the course and symptoms of their physical ailment.
