Did you know that all lived experiences, especially traumatic ones, are stored in the body and are the cause of most diseases? Would you like to know how to identify and interpret the signals sent by your body through physical symptoms? And explore the connections between emotions, past experiences and physical health?
Neuroscience, psychobiology and psychoneuroscience reveal an undeniable fact: mind and body are two inseparable dimensions, two sides of the same coin that defines us as human beings. If we want to understand our health, we must delve into our emotions and thoughts, in that constant dialogue between what we feel and what we experience physically.
In this course we explore the fascinating nexus between the mind and the body, addressing such relevant topics as body language, psychosomatics in childhood and trauma, the dynamics of the process of getting sick.
We will discover how stress weakens our immune system and is the gateway to diseases such as cancer, and how emotions anchored in our body are reflected in skin, respiratory, digestive and rheumatoid problems, among others. Don't let your health be an unsolved mystery. It is time to understand the power of the mind over the body and learn to heal from the source. Our body is an open book that reveals our deepest emotions, even when our mind keeps them silent. The body remembers what the mind forgets.
