Physical & Emotional Pain Connection PT 1

This year, I want to focus on some specific topics in Psychology, Self Awareness, and Mindfulness.

This first series is about the direct connection between physical pain and emotional stress. As a child, I never considered this idea. I had no exposure to it or means to study it. As I’ve grown up, and moreso now than ever, it’s truth holds a formal place in my every day life.

What does all of this mean, then? Our emotions have a direct impact on our bodies. This is officially called psychogenic pain.

Below are two images I’ve found on Pinterest. I’m researching the actual source.
