Illness not only has a history, but it tells a history. It is a culmination of a lifelong history of struggle for self .
Mind and spirit can survive grievous physical injury, but repeatedly we see that the physical body begins to succumb when psychic integrity and freedom are jeopardised .
In the final analysis, disease is a boundary question.
When we look at the research that predicts who is likely to get ill, we will find that the people at greatest risk are those who have experienced the most severe boundary invasions before they were able to construct an autonomous sense of self. )Autonomy is the development of an internal centre of control).
(Paraphrased from Gabor Mate's book : When the body says no)
In this Episode Loretta and I discuss in detail what is meant by boundaries and why, by and large, humans struggle to set and maintain boundaries.
We then relate this to getting sick and helping ourselves heal. Most importantly we discuss how the immune confusion that leads to disease reflects a failure to distinguish self from non-self, healing has to involve establishing or reclaiming the boundaries of an autonomous self.
The two books by Gabor that we mention are :
When the Body Says No and The Myth of Normal.
Disclaimer: What we bring should not be viewed as a stand-alone intervention, it should always be conducted alongside proper medical treatment (orthodox or natural), nutritional assistance, exercise and whatever else is appropriate for your illness. We are pointing out the relationship between hidden and other stress and disease.
