Allergy – a hypersensitivity to substances of different nature, called allergens. At the present time more than 20 thousand of allergens from food and ending with environmental pollutants. For various reasons the number of allergens is increasing from year to year, as well as allergies. And all the allergies anyway interested in the problem of the possibility of getting rid of this unpleasant and terrible consequences of adversity.
The most frightening and threatening complication for people with allergies is the development of asthma, which can lead to hormonal dependence and severe disability. Unfortunately, when the first baby lead to an allergist, many experts immediately draw parents bleak prospect of a long, ongoing expensive treatment the rest of his life without any hope of a cure.
In understanding how this is done, for example, in America, the West, in the treatment of asthma therapy is mandatory because of bronchial asthma – psychosomatic illness. She was exposed to people with anxiety, anxiety-depressive character. But you rarely find someone from the general practitioners or allergists, who would advise the complex treatment of mandatory psychotherapy. Instead of psychotherapy are offered sedation or tranquilizers, which may only temporarily relieve stress and anxiety, while the therapist works to overcome their causes, removing precipitating factors of disease. In many cases, the use of psychotherapy can seriously reduce the symptoms of the disease and often allows her to win if you are lucky enough to get a highly professional specialists.
As for allergies of different origin, the modern psychotherapy can in the short term to cope with them. Most successfully solve the problems of allergies therapists applying polymodal approach (with the knowledge and experience in different areas of psychotherapy), specialists in neuro-linguistic programming, Erickson hypnosis, emotional and imaginative treatment, and specialists in other areas, specifically working on the causes, triggers allergies.
The modern view of a number of areas of psychotherapy on the origin of allergies is as follows: allergy nothing more than a phobia of the immune system that mistakenly begins to reckon certain foods, odors, etc. life-threatening substances and begins to actively protect the body, rent the them. Signs of rejection, unfortunately, known to many first-hand: it is a runny nose, itching, swelling, tearing, coughing, shortness of breath …
According to various estimates, from 50 to 80% of allergies can be successfully psihoterapevtirovany. In very severe cases psychotherapy can reduce severe symptoms of the disease, especially in very elderly patients. Experience shows that children from about 2 years old can be taken to psychotherapy with the use of gaming techniques. For example, are often allergic to house dust in children provokes nervous atmosphere in the family (constant scandals, controversial education, etc.). Unloved Work technician can run an allergy to chemicals. And the constant fear of losing the sense of smell can trigger allergic reactions in a professional taster. Often, an allergy develops after severe psihotravm and Infectious Diseases, where severely affected the immune system, and in this state, he may give paradoxical reactions, which are expressed in allergic manifestations.
Unfortunately, not so often allergist working in tandem with the therapists, although many people know that by connecting psychotherapy, they are largely predetermine the success of treatment. The impression is that some doctors prescribe expensive drugs easier and condemn the patient to life resistant treatment than cure it. As openly expressed a friend of mine allergist if they would send their patients to therapists, then would lose their patients that they treat all my life.
Understanding allergic reactions of the organism as a phobia of the immune system allows therapists to apply the usual technique of working with phobias. However, in order to consolidate the results obtained, it is necessary to reduce the quality increased anxiety and excessive tension in various parts of the body or throughout the body, change the attitude of the patient to all the negative feelings and memories that can trigger painful reactions. Sometimes patients need to go through family therapy. This is necessary when the patient’s problems are closely related to family relationships or parental attitudes.
