Rebuilding the PSYCHE/SOMA unit - José Teixeira Lopes - Bog

The main aim of this manual is to demonstrate through research that the reconstruction of the psyche/soma unit can be achieved through psychotherapy combined with hypnosis. In the course of our clinical research, we came across two cases of post-traumatic stress triggered in childhood and two cases of work-related stress triggered by workloads and abuse in childhood. We analysed these cases and began therapy to help our patients. Thanks to the psychotherapeutic and hypno psychotherapeutic work, the people concerned came to better understand their bodies as a whole (psyche and soma), that the body expresses what the psyche conceals. In this way, the body becomes, in a way, the spokesperson for what is not heard at the level of our emotional experience of the psyche, and the ego becomes stronger, more solid, richer and more firmly rooted in itself. In the course of this work, we have observed that psychotherapy is based on the unconscious and enables communication to be established between the conscious and the unconscious.
