Stress tends to exacerbate any kind of autoimmune issues. MS flares are notoriously triggered by stress. Stress can be physiological or emotional or physical. That much is scientific. But we can’t eliminate all stress, besides, even positive stresses can do that. And absolutely if we don’t deal with things in a healthy way, and are continually subjected to emotional stress, it’s going to weaken your entire immune system, which is highly influenced by your autonomic stress responses.

I've dealt with abuse and drama and loss all my life by burying it deep down and moving on because I had to be strong for everyone in my life. At 51 I started having full blown anxiety attacks (sweaty palms, people talking sounding like bees far off or in a tunnel, tunnel vision and the desire to just be alone, not around anyone) Once again true to my nature, I view this as a weakness and try to hide this by withdrawing from everyone except work. At 56 I am now having nightmares, insomniac, physical health issues, grinding my teeth in my sleep, even sleep paralysis. All due to never taken care of my issues and shoving them down. It isn't a weakness dealing with your mental issues, I wish someone would have told me this and let me know true weakness is not allowing yourself to heal and get help in the beginning. If anyone is reading this and feels hurt, less than or dealing with loss, get help. You are worth it now and future you is depending on it. Blessings to all.

Finally decided to leave that toxic manager and now i never got that kind of headache again.

Yep, so very true and I am an example for this video - extensive health issues of the last year, as underlying problems were not addressed for a while. Our bodies is a microcosm of hormones, starts with cortisol and then it imbalances prolactin, parasympathetic nervous system, etc. It's like a domino effect. Do look after yourselves people and don't neglect those negative emotions or situations roots for those ❤

i will never forget the horror of panic attacks. my doctor told me that my body is reacting to what's happening in my thoughts. i was sent to the hospital for all kinds of tests and guess what, i was totally fine. i went to therapy and im ok today. sometimes i still forget to take a break and sort my thoughts and a little bit of physical discomfort comes back to me. but then i remember i have some thoughts to unpack and that helps

The trauma I faced as a child has beaten me down to the point that I do not have the courage to face myself, and the things I know I should do. I indefinitely suppress and postpone the actions I know I should take while distracting myself with school and self-gratification. I never thought I’d end up so broken and hopeless. It is vital to raise the future generations with self-respect and confidence so that they don’t have to experience the pain and slow death of emotional suppression cultivated by the trauma that we accumulated as children. Love your children, love others, and end the cycle.

it's a way of living

This is putting the horse before the cart. You talk about emotions and feelings as if they are some ethereal thing. Your emotions are 100% physical in every possible way. You don't feel stressed or feel happy, you ARE stressed and you ARE happy. They are physical states of the human body. There is never a point where your emotions are something less than a wholesale engagement of your entire physical self. They are responses in your body to real physical processes. Consciousness is always lagging behind the emotion, experiencing it, but never creates an emotion. When you feel something, that is just you becoming aware of the physical process that has already occurred in your body.

Lovely sounding fiction: “Consciousness….. never creates emotion”?? So conscious recognition of information someone you love has died? Remembering a time when you were afraid? When we’re dreaming and the body is inert we don’t feel sadness or fear? I fully accept that many emotions are sub conscious or arise from physical stimulus but not exclusively. You can absolutely consciously generate emotion.

I do agree that not dealing with our emotions can get trapped in our bodies; but I think this framework is a thine line to walk. Reducing ailments and disabilities to the responsibility of the individual is ableist. And there are people who are disabled in their bodies not because of any neglect of their own but because that is how their body is. This framework of “work on yourself and your body will feel better” is helpful in some circumstances-but also necessary to consider the ableist implications

That's a completely different ballpark! /nm To offer a different perspective: in the part where the narrator talks about how we kind of need to help ourselves with these pains, I saw it as a presentation of an unfortunate truth. He starts with how doctors seldom ask the right questions, which is a fact, even if definitely not a good one. Of course, go to a doctor! If it IS a physical issue you'll need physical help! But if it's not, you may need to learn how to help yourself, because sadly no one else is probably going to. :(

Thank you so much! :)

I often find the videos of the school of life theoretical to a certain extent. But for those who say that this video doesn't have a practical side, I disagree. The message at the end is a direct invitation to fulfill suppressed needs for rest, departure from a relationship or a lifestyle, or liberation from certain imposed or self imposed barriers.

I spent a year getting the flu every single month, even twice a month. I had migraines every single day too. Felt heart palpitations, my hair started falling out, my body trembled, couldn't sleep... I went to many doctors trying to find an answer. Later this year, my body let me know by making me incredibly sad and unable to wake up every day. Thats when I decided to reach a psychiatrist. Turns out it was anxiety and depression I wasn't completely aware of. Along with therapy, everything's getting better. If you're going through the same thing, you're not alone ❤

I thought it was the situation that made me this way but I was never sure how. This has explained it so well thank you!

Over recent years I've noticed how after an extreme bout of stress, say a few weeks of worry/anxiety and burnout i inevitably have a breakdown where i cry and let it all out, I talk about it. The following week I get a horrendous "flu" where I'm pretty much bedridden for days. I don't believe that this is "flu", I believe this is my body's way of detoxing and ridding itself of the bad energy that has been allowed to move.

This channel is a bliss , each video is a big solution put forward in simple words . Thank you Alain and team 💙

After getting my heart broken by my first love, I went through years of extreme emotional agony. However, slowly but surely I was able to move on-- at least I thought I did. Instead of acknowledging my negative emotions, I started repressing them through distractions or basically gaslighting my brain into thinking, "I shouldn't be sad/angry anymore." Every situation where I sensed that I would feel something negative, my instinct was to always go flight-mode. Presently, I've subjected myself into having a calm persona, and a lot of people wonder why I rarely express emotion or why I'm emotionally distant at times. They don't know that I've ended up numbing my sense of emotional empathy which makes it extremely difficult to understand the current emotion I'm going through. A lot of people wish that they could remove the pain in their hearts, but being empty is also a very lonely and bleak experience.

yo im having this exact problem rn. after my situationship ended i felt literally nothing at all except being angry a little bit+ i didn’t have time to process it because it was summer and stuff was happening all the time but due to several attempts from this person to come back over the course of a few months+ the emotions finally hitting, i feel like im processing the situation for too long and i tend to stop myself from thinking about it because of this thought that „my time to grieve has passed, i should move on already”. i don’t wanna make myself miserable and let myself ruminate about the situation, but i also don’t want to repress emotions and i can’t rlly grasp what to do

All I can say is that this video is spot on and it reflects my own experience. As an adult, I have this feeling of needing to keep going no matter what. It was easier in school and university to take a break and focus on mental health. Now I have a family which means I need to constantly keep an eye on other people’s happiness and I have a demanding job where I am expected to perform. My impression is that when I was younger, we would share negative feelings more commonly with friends and those friends would open up more easily to me as well, but now people just say “I’m doing fine” and these honest conversations don’t happen anymore. It is as if people think they must have it together because they are grown ups now.

This is absolutely true. I have been through all of this and ended in depression and hospitalized. They forced me, through the therapy process, to finally look into myself and face all my anxieties, fears, emotional pains and things that dwelled for decades in me. And what happened is just what is described in this video. I was in so much pain and different health issues in less than a year and all of that is almost gone in some 5 months. So I would really invite everyone to take this video very seriously and do the work as suggested in it. Thank you very much for sharing these informations ❤❤❤

Meegraines ? Is that really how it’s pronounced in UK? By the way, we shouldn’t also leave people with the impression that all illnesses are the result of repressed emotions. Went through that too with doctors who wouldn’t listen to me. They didn’t know me before the pain so they blamed it on my depression instead of blaming my depression on the pain. I was filtering out a lot of pain. Women tend to do that or we wouldn’t make it month-to-month. And once they actually did surgery, I was fine for a few years until the spinal arthritis caught up with me. Yeah, none of us had perfect childhoods but some of us actually didn’t pay attention to the physical hurts we sustained and later on down the road those manifest joint damage. or maybe we were involved in an activity that did so chronically and we didn’t realize it because we had all those youthful hormones covering for us.

The psych is the immaterial will conscience and consciousness. The psych controls the body through the will (consciousness) and the autonomic nervous system through the conscience. When the will acts contrary to the conscience, adrenaline and over a period of time shuts down the circulation in various organs producing pain and excessive cortisone weakens muscles and the immune system and alters sugar balance amongst other things.

True!! I know someone who was aggravated because of her father, she developed tics after… there is no cure for it but only management. How devastating is the effect of anger, frustration, rage, and other emotions being felt all at once. Especially in kids

It’s so true that things can result physically. When I’m in an overwhelmingly stressful time, I get nauseous and my throat feels incredibly tight for no physical reason.

Yeah the true nature of psychosomaticization I believe is more complex than we currently comprehend, but mind is certainly embodied somatically in addition to neurologically.

The unprocessed emotions get stuck in the body (lymphatic system). After all, emotions create chemical reactions (micro expressions). Anger is stored in the jaw and liver, sadness in the diaphragm, etc. And can be released.

That's why therapists are needed there has to be an awareness spread for this everywhere in the world

this is absolutely vital that this goes viral and people learn about this! the medical field espically need to tap into this! i came off my anti depressants because i knew i could sort it out myself. love x

Repressed emotions make us sick because it's internalized. The more we bottle up everything, the more contents get spilled out of it. An open wound with blood dripping out of it.

If you're ever feeling overwhelmed by emotions, try focusing on the different pieces that led to 'one' emotion. For example, Anxiety is often the culmination of worry, nervousness and fear of the future. Anger is usually bottled up frustration, annoyance and passive-agression. This way, you can better understand where exactly these feelings are coming from, and when you realise the root of the problem, well, it's simpler to focus on solutions rather than finding yourself in a mix of unspoken things. Plus, it always helps to talk about it.

I have a family friend whose husband passed away far away from home at work, after he was asked to stay and work for an additional 3 months after his 9 month work period without going home. It was an ask that came in the form of a no choice extension so his boss gave him the understanding that there was only one answer. A month later he died while he was fully healthy. He died of a broken heart, of homesickness. It's incredible how much impact your mental and emotional states have over your physical health.

I think this picks up on a really common trait of doctors in that they’re often completely emotionally unavailable. Beings of pure logic and intelligence fixing visible problems only, therefore your unexplained pain is dismissed. However, I have found psychiatrists can detect more hidden issues by thinking to ask about the patient’s home life and stressors.

I didn’t go to school today because of my migraine, I felt so annoyed because I felt “happy” but I know deep down there’s a lot more than what I was feeling. Lately my parents have been neglectful and pretty much emotionally abusive, I tend to get migraines when I’m very stressed or there’s something I know I’m suppressing, and clearly I have been and still do. I don’t get as much migraines as I used to, as I have been taking care of myself more often, but it’s always a good reminder to me to just ask what’s wrong with my body, is there something causing me so much stress and anger

This is true. I had a tough childhood and teens years both at home and at school. My parents were physically abusive, neglecting, controlling and the list can go on. At school I was bullied by both children and teachers. When I was at home and at schoold I never wanted to be in both. It's a strange feeling when you don't have where to go and always in places where you don't want to be. I was deeply depressed and suffering, hating my parents and everyone around that was making me suffer. One morning, walking to school, I found myself hard to breathe until I couldn't, so I had to stop walking a while to get better. Then it got increasingly worse when sitting at the table in class, I got the same plus dizziness and not hearing what is being talked around me. Felt tight in the chest also. I don't remember how and when I told this to my parents. My dad took me to his cardiologist at the time. They did some tests, there were quite a lot l remember. And they found something. What doctor told that is happening is that one of the heart valves was inflating too much when I take breaths in. He didn't told me the diagnosis but told me this comes from the nervous system. Prescribed me some medicine, those removed the problem entirely for which I am very grateful to this day. This situation scared me. So yes, the way you think and feel about you or anything else is directly impacting your health sooner or later.

I like these videos but at the same time I feel frustrated that these videos aren’t made keeping other ailments in mind. Like for example OCD. The things mentioned in the video can literally trigger some people who already torment themselves everyday with several what ifs. People who are already finding the root cause of their tormenting thoughts and the subsequent feelings everyday may find themselves panicking, thinking what if they are in denial.

I have an overbearing, gas lighting, somewhat narcissistic 87 year old mother and I've been dealing with anxiety, depression and IBS for years, so yeah, I can see how all of the above could work.

Awesome video. I'm Taiwanese, so I might chime in a little trivia : There's a fundamental difference between modern western medicine and traditional chinese medicine. Modern Western medicine only treats the symptom of the specific body part, limb, skin or organ, that has an issue, while in traditional chinese medicine, the doctor will take your pulse, for a minute, then ask "anything bad happened in the family recently" ? They have a much more holistic approach and see the entire body and mind in their whole and see what part, physical or mental, might influence another part, rather than split everything in tiny little independent boxes. I'm guessing this is also why there are so few therapists in Asia compared to the west. Our doctors already kinda fill in that role. That is why despites usually slower results, I've always trusted chinese medicine more. After all, slow and steady wins the race.
