Somaticizing

The body will continue to give you cues that the trauma is there. It will reveal the wounds through your emotions and feelings (or lack of feelings).

But for many of us, we don’t want to feel these feelings so we push them down.

This hidden process of stuffing down emotions into your body is also called somaticizing.

"Soma" means “body” in Latin.

When you somaticize, you are transferring your emotional and mental state into your body. Then it begins to manifest as a physical symptom. Because you don't face and feel your emotions directly and consciously, your body starts to speak for you through symptoms.

Many of you somaticize and don't even know it.

It starts when an emotion arises inside of you that is too overwhelming or uncomfortable to feel.

Instead of allowing yourself to feel those emotions, you ignore them and stuff them down.

You distract yourself with work and all your “to-do’s.”

You find yourself using things like social media and binge watching Netflix to escape your reality.

Or deny that there's anything wrong.

You may pour yourself into focusing on other people, your children, your partner.

Or tell yourself to "buck up” and “get over it.”

You might drink, smoke, do drugs, or eat to push down the feelings.

Maybe life becomes about “things” and living from vacation to vacation.

And then, months or years later, you start to develop tension, neck pain, low back issues, digestive disorders, insomnia, weakness, fatigue, anxiety, depression, or even a chronic illness.

You may go and seek help from doctors and various practitioners for your condition only to find that nothing seems to remedy your issue. It becomes like a constant chase to figure out what’s causing your pain and illness.
