This story is about psychosomatics and unconscious causes of excess weight. And, as usual, for such cases, the solution to the problem will occur with a shortage of resources: from the series that “I blinded you from what was.” This story is about a weight that cannot be reduced through traditional efforts: changing eating habits, normalizing sleep and physical activity. And all because there is a lot left overboard that the client does not see, and therefore cannot influence these invisible (unconscious) factors. Case from practice One beautiful woman, I’ll call her Masha, was generously gifted by nature. She was beautiful in every way. Beautiful appearance, good manners, lively mind and kind heart. But Masha didn’t see this. More precisely, she saw, but not everything, and therefore Masha suffered from the fact that her vision did not allow her to see how good she was. And, of course, Masha did not love herself. And all because she was born as the second child. And it seemed to her that between her parents’ love and her there stood an older sister who was drawing their love towards herself. And Masha, perhaps, would be glad for her parental love to shine like the sun for her alone. Of course, Mom and Dad loved both girls equally, as much as possible. But the older sister, I’ll call her Anya, really interfered with Masha. And all because she was very lively and inquisitive. At school, Anya was discovered to have some special abilities and was offered to transfer to a special school with an in-depth study of something there. And not only did our Anya go to sports and music herself, but there is also this special school. Where's the justice? And then Anya immediately entered college, and the youngest could not keep up with such a wide range of interests of her sister. Masha was not interested in sports, she went to music a couple of times and gave up, but there’s nothing to say about the university. The younger sister did not immediately conquer this peak. And Masha really wanted to catch up and overtake Anya, but it didn’t work. In general, Masha tried to completely repeat the fate of her sister, but she did it slower than she wanted. But nevertheless, Masha received a higher education and began working in her specialty, and then her life changed. She changed her profession and started everything from scratch. And then Masha’s thirst for a career awoke. Her education was not specialized and Masha was worried that her colleagues had both experience and a specialized diploma, but she did not measure up on these points. Everyone around her complimented Masha, and everyone sang with one voice that she looked too unserious in appearance for the reputable company she worked for. And soon Masha began to gain weight out of the blue (but it wasn’t level). It seems that everything in life is the same, no changes, and the needle on the scales treacherously began to move into the unhealthy zone. And Masha began to suffer not only about her non-core diploma, but also about kilograms. But somehow childish. She told everyone about her weight, about how successful she was, and how these new body volumes were inappropriate for her. She wants to be slim and fit. And Masha suffered on every diet she went on. And she raised all her friends to their feet and told them that the kilograms were growing, but she couldn’t do anything. Masha needed a support group and a lot of attention. And at the same time, Masha did not notice how she began to actively compete with her colleagues and this bore fruit. Finally, she received the desired promotion. She was promoted to the maximum possible. She was taller than all her colleagues with their specialized diplomas and long work experience. And standing at the top of the service pyramid, Masha exhaled and looked around. She liked everything about this new life, except her own weight. We cannot change what we do not see in ourselves. But Masha did not see that with her weight she gave her appearance visibility, significance and solidity. And, if she doesn’t see it, then she can’t find other solutions, when the weight remains within the old limits, and peace and confidence increase inside. And then I decided to go to a psychologist. And she began to talk about her life, diets, kilograms. And Masha was sure that she knew everything
