Pain in the soul

Pain in the soul is also an abstract condition for those around, but a very tangible one for the sufferer. There are many ways to combat it, and we will touch on some of them.

The concept of "soul" is very vague and abstract, it can include what is impossible to study in a person empirically. Habits, fears, reactions to the environment, dreams, memories, all this is united by modern scientists under the term "psycho" and studied by such methods as psychology and psychiatry.

Reasons that lie in the past

Often, pain in the soul is a consequence of childhood or adolescent psychological trauma. A certain negative event, the intensity of which went beyond the usual event intensity for you at that time, or a series of recurring events imprinted in your subconscious. It often happens that a person does not remember the situation and cannot grasp the cause-and-effect relationship. Disorders of this nature follow an individual throughout life, sometimes surfacing to the surface of the soul, sometimes going deep inside.

Such events include humiliation, failure, injustice, physical pain. When diagnosing such a disorder, it is necessary to first identify the cause of the pain in the soul. This is not always easy, and if you yourself are not able to delve into yourself and extract the cause, then you should contact a specialist who, using proven methods (hypnosis, psychoanalysis, gestalt therapy, etc.), will be able to reveal the essence of your problem.

Next, you should work through the situation, disidentify yourself with the suffering object, perceive what happened as an experience. Again, not everyone is able to do this on their own and a qualified psychologist can help with this. It often happens that after working through the problem once, the pain in the soul does not go away, then you should have several repeated sessions to eliminate the pain for sure.

The causes of pain in the soul come from the present

It happens that an emotional shock that has recently happened to a person can shake his psyche and lead to pain in the soul. In this case, the task of pain relief is simplified on the one hand, since the cause lies on the surface, but on the other hand, it can become more complicated due to the freshness of the shock and its intensity.

The sufferer, in this case, should switch his attention to objects or events that are happening at the moment and do not concern the cause of the pain in the soul. In case of a serious condition, it is necessary to use the services of a doctor.

If you see that your loved one has been subjected to severe stress and his mental balance has been shaken, do not treat this problem negligently, try to delve into the situation and, if necessary, provide assistance, or contact a specialist. Since leaving the sufferer without due attention, you can aggravate his pain in the soul and cause catastrophic consequences with your attitude.

Pathological pains in the soul

Sometimes it happens that a person, for some reason, plunges deep into his state, which intensively deviates from the norm. You can observe the loss of contact with reality, obsessive ideas, fears, manias, and so on. If someone close to you is suffering from a similar mental illness, immediately contact a specialist, tell him about the problem in detail and follow his instructions. Do not disturb the patient, do not contradict him and do not report the measures you are taking. In such a situation, in order to save the person, you must completely obey the doctor's instructions.
