Psychosomatics: back
The body's central information-processing hub
The spinal column is one of the body's main information-processing centers, rivaling the brain in importance. Trouble in this zone often points to overload: taking on more than the body can actually process.
Possible psychological causes
- Overload of information and obligations
- Decisions that go against the body's needs
- Chronic tension from unresolved situations
- Responsibility that doesn't fit who you are
Self-reflection questions
- ?What exactly is overloading you right now?
- ?Which obligations run against your needs?
- ?What would you stop doing if you could?
