Older Adult Psychosomatic and Holistic Meaning and Interpretation

Friedreich's ataxia is a nervous system disorder affecting the spinal cord and cerebellum, often originating from a powerful thought pattern, especially in mothers. This thought pattern may create a sense of powerlessness in the child (the unborn child) to fulfill expectations. It's crucial for mothers to reassure their children, whether gestational or older, that they are loved and accepted as they are. This healing process involves communicating love and forgiveness, fostering harmony between both parties.






If the child is older, I take the time to talk to him.

Psoriasis is a common skin condition that can occur at any stage of life. It typically presents as plaques, primarily in areas prone to trauma, such as elbows, knees, scalp, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. In some cases, it may spread to other parts of the body. These plaques consist of layers that accumulate, and older, thicker plaques may appear white and flake off like powder when in contact with clothing. Refer to the section on skin problems for more information, with the added understanding that individuals with psoriasis may desire to renew their skin. This desire may stem from not feeling recognized for who they are and could indicate identity issues. Acceptance of oneself, with all strengths, weaknesses, and emotions, without fear of rejection or shame, is the message to embrace.

Muguet, also known as thrush, is a contagious yeast infection characterized by the presence of creamy white plaques in the mouth and throat. This condition is common in children and often arises after continuous crying and screaming when the child seeks physical contact and affection from their parents. To understand this, it's essential to place oneself in the child's position, particularly a baby who requires this contact to feel safe due to vulnerability. Screaming and crying become the child's means of expressing the need for human warmth, even though parents may misinterpret these signals as signs of hunger, thirst, or discomfort. This inability to fulfill the need for physical contact leads to vocalization issues. To address this, parents should hold the child in their arms, offering comfort and affection as frequently as possible to resolve the vocalization problem. In adults, if thrush occurs following a respiratory tract infection, the emotional needs are similar to those of the child mentioned earlier. The inner child in the adult requires attention and security. The adult self can provide comfort and reassurance to restore harmony and promote healing.

Belly pain, experienced by both children and adults, signifies feelings of abandonment and loneliness. It reflects a reluctance to communicate and a fear of going unheard. To regain a sense of security and bolster self-confidence, I can learn to communicate with myself. Furthermore, I must be open to connecting with my surroundings by allowing love to flow toward others.

Feeling drowsy after a satisfying meal can be a pleasant way to extend that moment of relaxation. It allows me to momentarily let go of thought and simply exist. However, if I consistently experience daytime drowsiness as an adult, it may signify an unconscious reluctance to engage with life's choices, decisions, and actions. My body sends a message, urging me to reconnect with life.
