All Diseases are from Nerves and Religion: Mikhail Filyaev and Psychosomatics
Introduction
The guest of the host is Mikhail Filyaev, a well-known psychologist and founder of the online Academy of Psychosomatics.
The main topic of the podcast is the relationship between psychosomatics and bodily diseases, and how psychosomatics can help in treatment.
Psychosomatics: Main Concepts
Psychosomatics asserts that most diseases are caused by our emotions and perceptions.
Negative emotions and stress can trigger diseases. Positive emotions and proper perception strategies contribute to recovery.
Example: it is difficult for a person to recover if their internal fears and conflicts are unresolved.
Examples and Case Studies
Examples from Mikhail's Practice
A woman with a child in intensive care: feared that her husband would be angry if the child died. The conflict at the root of her anxiety.
Stroke patient: the cause is a traumatic situation in childhood (failed to save daughter on an airplane).
Therapeutic Techniques
Regression: returning to events that triggered the problem and reinterpreting them.
Examples: working with allergies through rebirth of perception of food or environment.
Main Principles of P2.0 Activity
The mission of P2.0 is to teach people self-knowledge and the creation of their positive perception strategies.
Students are taught to work with incidents and body reactions through the psychosomatic approach, applying skills of self-knowledge and physiological reactions.
Diseases from Negative Emotions
Allergy
Often allergies are related to negative experiences in the past.
Technique: through regression work find the event and change the perception.
Skin Diseases
Associated with contact conflicts or feelings of disgust.
Examples: acne can be caused by psychological trauma or self-devaluation.
Autoimmune Diseases
Associated with devaluation conflicts (e.g., arthritis).
Cases: psoriasis can be linked to fears and benefits (e.g., desire not to work).
Cancer and Oncopsychology
Oncopsychology aims to study the psychological causes of oncological diseases.
Examples: breast cancer is associated with relationship problems, a desire to protect the child; ovarian cancer – the conflict is related to the desire to have a child.
Mikhail developed a course on oncopsychology, including training doctors and psychologists.
Influence of Genetics and Epigenetics
Behavior, perceptions, and reactions can alter the expression of genetic diseases.
Example: the case with Angelina Jolie and the removal of her breasts.
Working with Children
Children's problems often reflect the strategies of the parents.
Working with psychosomatics of children up to 6 years old is primarily through the parents.
Examples: treating a child's allergy through working with the mother's perception of the sun, water, etc.
Psychosomatic Therapy for Trauma and Severe Conditions
Panic attacks are associated with traumas and lack of life purpose.
Antidepressants are viewed as an auxiliary tool, the main treatment is psychotherapy.
Conclusion
The podcast urges viewers to analyze their feelings and health through the lens of psychosomatics.
Viewer feedback is important: what insights were gained, what new things were learned, and what they plan to apply in their own lives.
