Modern medicine recognizes that a significant part of diseases is "triggered" by psychological problems, i.e. has a psychosomatic nature. The mechanisms of psychosomatic diseases lie in the fact that the body "stores" everything that the person carefully hides even from himself. But sooner or later accumulated and unresolved psychological problems make themselves felt, manifest themselves in the form of certain diseases.
As research shows, in psychosomatic diseases, 2/3 of the subjects have a peculiarity of perception of their emotions called alexithymia.
Alexithymia is a condition in which a person cannot distinguish feelings in the body from feelings and emotions.
If a person cannot label his feelings and emotions, then the likelihood of getting psychosomatic illnesses increases dramatically. It can be said that emotions are experienced by the body, and the body gets sick and suffers from it. Emotions should be lived by the psyche, not the body, but for various reasons, this is not possible.
I offer you a modified test by the method of the Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) or, as it is also called, the Feeling Skills Test. The methodology "Alexithymia Scale" is aimed at studying alexithymia as a personality property; it was adapted in the Bekhterev Institute.
