Psychosomatics: throat and neck
Where emotional tension and blocked expression show up
The throat is one of the first places emotional tension makes itself felt. When an inner impulse is blocked, it finds a physical outlet: a tight throat, a spasm, a voice that gives out. The body shows what the conscious mind refuses to say.
Possible psychological causes
- An emotional impulse blocked on its way to expression
- Suppressing a reaction the body considers necessary
- The gap between what you want to say and what you actually say
- Chronically holding back vital energy
Self-reflection questions
- ?What is your body trying to express?
- ?Which situation makes you tighten up inside?
- ?When did this tension start, and what happened around the same time?
