Stress & Burnout: The Adrenal Factor / Tidbits Psycho-somatics June 10, 2004

I was a psychotherapist for years before I got involved inrepparttar holistic movements....before I became a shaman. I had a strong interest in psychosomatic problems. The popular approach at that time, which is still common, was that many body problems, pains, etc., were all inrepparttar 115190 head. That there was no actual medical basis for many human problems. I also accepted that as a fact, and saw many clients ....trying to resolve their mental / emotional issues so they would no longer have these false medical complaints, or painful symptoms. [ Many were helped to live better lives withrepparttar 115191 therapy....but that is notrepparttar 115192 point of this article. ]

To make a very long story much shorter, let me just say that a range of personal experiences followed by years of personal research led me to become an expert in psycho-physiology. Where psycho-somatics assumed that ' it is all in your head ', psycho-physiology assumes that there is something actually going on inrepparttar 115193 body causingrepparttar 115194 symptoms. Then my research / experience took me one step further. I began to realize that many problems were actually comming fromrepparttar 115195 environment, effecting bothrepparttar 115196 mind andrepparttar 115197 body!

This issue is very complex....I could write books about it......but these tidbits will stay focused on some common [ adrenal ] issues....................So if you are suffering with a whole range of symptoms...I can clearly state that [ it's not all in your head ].

First of all, we are not a closed system....yes there is a skin around us but we are really an energy system, and energy around us does get inside us. Some of this environmental energy helps us, and some hurts us....the environment is a mixed bag, a melting pot of many things. The adrenal glands.....try to handle all stress......it doesn't matter if that stress is caused by our own internal process or environmental factors. Among other things,repparttar 115198 adrenals work onrepparttar 115199 [ fight or flight approach ]. That means when they are dealing with a stressor, they will try to get you to resolverepparttar 115200 cause of it by fighting with you inside or fighting with something inrepparttar 115201 environment. Let's say that your fighting with your boss at work...not knowing quite why....the adrenals know why.....they are causingrepparttar 115202 fight so you will address with your bossrepparttar 115203 real issues causingrepparttar 115204 stress. If that doesn't resolve things..the adrenals kick inrepparttar 115205 [ flight ] approach...telling you to [get away from here before you get too damaged]. The adrenals are trying to protect you [ that is their job ] by getting you to quit and find another job.
