Coping and Treatment
The field of medical psychology is extremely familiar with psychosomatic disorders and offers different types of treatments.
Treatments usually start with the goal of pain reduction, by understanding when the pain first appeared and if the pain gets worse or better in certain situations, in order to be able to understand its development.
Many times it’s found that emotional distress is a main factor of the pain, and psychological treatment therefore tries to uncover the root of the distress and how to reduce it, therefore reducing the pain.
Treating psychosomatic pain also involves learning exercises and methods for reducing stress.
For example, in The Tal Clinic we work with patients to identify which situations have a high “stress potential” and then learning techniques to lessen the stress.
Treatments might include different types of complimentary therapies, such as hypnosis, EMDR, CBT and more, in order to lighten the load the body bears from emotional distress.
For example, CBT helps the patient identify which thinking patterns are harmful in certain stressful situations and provides the patient with new, better thinking patterns to apply during stressful situations.
Relaxation exercises are also taught and are recommended for practice at home.
