How does Primal pain relate to sickness?
Until Primal pain is resolved, it continues to force the body and mind into neurotic action. Neurosis is not just a psychological disease. It manifests itself both mentally and physically. Primal pain makes you act out feelings in neurotic ways–in hostility, phobias, obsessions–and later deal with them by excessive smoking or drinking, or you “act in” feelings by developing psychosomatic afflictions. It seems like a long leap between the child of two who feels deserted when his father left home and that child three decades later who develops arthritis. It’s also difficult to see the relationship between chain-smoking at forty and being locked in your room repeatedly at age four. Fortunately, experts don’t have to make the connection; patients, given the right circumstances, will do it for them. When enough patients with the same ailment relive specific traumas, the connection between past traumas and current symptoms becomes evident. See: Why You Get Sick – How You Get Well, Dove Boo
