Abstract
Mental health may impact physical health via different mechanisms. Psychotherapy of unresolved conflicts has shown that physical symptoms may be integrated into conflicts, for example abdominal symptoms, headaches, back pain and cardiac symptoms. If conflicts are not resolved physical symptoms may be recurrent and psychosomatic, e.g. without any somatic cause. They may disappear after psychotherapy of unresolved conflicts even years after the initial conflict. In non-hypnotic age regression, psychosomatic symptoms may show up during regression and described by clients as localized physical findings in the body, that may be removed during age regression together with the accompanying symptoms. These findings correlate with the amount of reported physical symptoms and repression and avoidance of emotions, e.g. in somatoform pain
