Chapter 4: Stiff breathing

Ladies and gentlemen, the connection between the mind and the body must be both strange and familiar. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info is familiar: people often hear the general term that the mind affects the body. What is strange is that this connection between body and mind can be elaborated in great detail.

You may have heard that mental illness causes some complex and painful symptoms in the body, but upon examination, the physiological structure has not been damaged. For example, a hallucinatory pain -- such as a stomachache.

Most of these descriptions refer to physical and mental illness as a kind of "monster"

However, you may have never heard that physical symptoms are transferring psychological symptoms, making psychological problems more intuitive and conducive to physical and mental healing; It's an extremely subtle sign of improvement.

For example, a non-physiological stomach ache is actually an abnormal peristalsis of the large intestine caused by excessive tension.

Sigmund Freud said: peristalsis of the large intestine is the earliest "sexual" desire of human beings.

The large intestine is associated with defecation, which in turn is associated with "breathing". (This has been described in detail earlier)

Fear of snakes also stems from the fear of peristalsis in the large intestine, that is, the rejection of "sex" and "breathing". (Sex is almost equivalent to breathing, as mentioned in the previous chapter.) )

Going deeper, psychogenic physical symptoms are a combination of the mother's physical illness at a certain moment, or the external threat or destruction suffered; It is to evoke the patient's innate courage to protect his mother, the most powerful courage that can sweep away all gloom.

Why?

I believe that the previous analysis has been clearly explained.

People with mental illness often think that when they are not sick, they are no different from healthy people.

But this is not the case.

Because as long as there is a sudden blow in reality, such as a major illness of a loved one.

It's enough to cause them to collapse instantly, and there's a good chance they'll not recover.

Therefore, psychological symptoms, and physical symptoms caused by psychological symptoms, are only evoking the patient's most primitive courage and motivation in advance.

If you don't know this, you will only feel that your symptoms are getting worse.

As mentioned earlier: the touch of the skin, breathing, pain...... It's the ultimate metamorphosis of mental illness.

This chapter is also about the same lineage.

Just a little bit more detailed.

Mainly the touch of the facial skin.

I'm sure many people have heard of "Smile Compulsion"

It's just that some people always force themselves to force a smile in front of others in order to please them.

When this forced smile becomes a deep-rooted habit, the so-called "forced smile" is formed.

If all the analysis links are not connected, "forced smile" is just one of many complex psychological symptoms.

But, in fact, all complex psychological problems can be concentrated in one subtle expression.

It's a natural growth process.

Or rather, a natural evolutionary process.

If you don't go through this process, go straight to the "smile compulsion"

It's not of much value.

Because people naturally think that it is only for this obsessive-compulsive symptom, and not for the whole thing.

The purpose of psychoanalysis is to get to the bottom of things.

Make complex symptoms as real and simple as possible.

So, how exactly does the compulsive smile switch between complex psychological symptoms?

To understand this, we must first understand the connection between forced smiling and "breathing".

Because all the previous analysis work has been reduced to the simple instinct of "breathing".

Therefore, to understand the meaning of psychoanalysis, it must not be taken out of context, but must be coherent.

Otherwise, it is impossible to understand why psychological problems can be so simplistic.

When a person is forced to smile, the skin on the sides of his nose becomes stiff.

The consequence of stiffness is that the nostrils are compressed flat, and the airflow is not smooth when inhaled.

If it relaxes, the nostrils return to a rounded state, allowing the flow of air to flow smoothly.

As mentioned earlier, the healthiest time is when the person is most intimate with his mother when he is young, and when the connection with the outside world is relatively weak.

And "breathing" is the existence of the mother. (This primitive sensation comes from the fetus feeling the mother's belly rising and falling due to breathing through the umbilical cord in the mother's body)

So you don't have to be intentionally dependent on your mother.

Therefore, the smoothness of breathing is the healthiest state.

However, in the previous analysis, the details of "smile compulsion" were not touched.

Therefore, when many people understand the meaning of "breathing", although they have regained their original happiness and are close to healing.

But that's only part of the story.

Because they feel that breathing is not as pleasurable as those illusory ideals.

There is still a part of the illusory ideal of perfection that becomes the basis of depression and compulsion.

Continuing at this point, everyone should be able to understand that the lack of pleasure in breathing is due to the effect of the forced smile.

If you don't understand this, even if you calm down and breathe, you will not be able to breathe smoothly because of the stiffness of your hidden muscles.

The more real meaning is that he has not fully remembered the state of mind when he was most intimate with his mother and relatively weakened from the outside world.

At that time, he did not have the pretense and disguise of forcing a smile at all. (Slightly lifts facial skin)

It will not slightly skim the skin of the face, giving people a feeling of coldness and resistance.

Rather, it is left behind until it is completely relaxed—a virginity of all kinds.

It is precisely because of this virginity that he will pursue some small things very seriously, so as to continue to obtain happiness.

Rather than detached, as in the future, he thinks he is detached; As if seeing through everything; become "indifferent"; And indulge yourself; even "self-defeating"; disregard for oneself; Lost motivation to pursue happiness.

In daily life, we may have such a tangle - strong laughter will make people very tired; Not smiling gives people the feeling of being angry.

Only the complete relaxation of the facial skin makes the lips slightly open and droop. (similar to "stunned") - is the feeling of innocence and "innocence". ――I don't make people feel angry because I don't laugh.

This is also the way to deal with all "embarrassment" and "humiliation" and return to nature. - For example, after an argument with someone; or after being scolded by a boss; Then face your colleagues. It's not to laugh, it's too reluctant; It's not okay not to laugh, so that people can understand that you are angry about being scolded, and people pay more attention to you and keep you secret. It can only be in a "stiff" "forced smile" type of state.

But at this moment, if you are "dumbfounded", it will give people a feeling of "innocence" and "innocence", and there will be no unnatural, reluctant and disguised you at all; They will also become natural.

This should not be described in mechanical words, it is completely the most innocent and beautiful memory of distant childhood.

It is just a description of the etiology of the "mental illness" caused by the loss of this memory.

This is what "smile compulsion" means.

But you don't have to be disgusted by what you used to be pretentious.

And suddenly became very repulsive and hateful to the outside world.

Because it's actually a compromise with the outside world.

Excessive love and hate due to the outside world, and emotions are mostly constrained by the outside world, which makes it difficult for one's heart to be calm.

They should understand that this is just a matter of their own "breathing" and has little to do with the outside world.

Just self-digest and regulate.

Even if the outside world in turn laughed at his contrivedness, it didn't matter.

Finally, there is a very common problem.

Whenever I say, "The most intimate connection with my mother, the weakest connection with the outside world, is the healthiest state."

There is always the misconception that this is a form of dependence and childishness.

Even disdainful.

And forget - "breath is the existence of the mother".

"Breathing" is present all the time.

There are no dependencies.

There is also a misconception that "breath is the existence of the mother" is too mysterious to prove.

Just as some people once criticized Freud's theories as mysterious and impossible to prove in practice.

This scientific positivism is commendable though.

However, it is too rigid.

Because of the mother's feelings, outsiders are not allowed to intervene and prove at all.

It can only be felt by oneself.

However, people who "go with the flow" and "forget themselves" ...... The words of abstraction are not mysterious.

Perhaps this is easier to divert attention from the mother.

People are always used to the obvious.

For example, a specific course of action: exercise more and do what you have to do......

For more in-depth logical analysis of memory, it is easy to lose patience and directly deny it without thinking.

In fact, action from the inside out is the most enjoyable action.

And, it can be done too.

It doesn't have to be relied on the willpower of "knowing what it is, not knowing why" to act reluctantly. (To be continued.) )
