The Psychic Immune System

Hey everyone, I hope you had a week so far which has brought many positive experiences into life! In my new contribution I would like to go into more detail about an important topic and would be happy if you can expand the knowledge.

The physical level as well as psychological are closely related to each other and when there are disturbances on the mental level, the whole body also suffers and people are much more susceptible to the development of diseases and the understanding of these interactions have been of great importance in medicine for many years. Already in ancient cultures, people knew that a healthy mind is also linked to a healthy body and also in the opposite this behaves similarly and if the body lacks something, the psyche also speaks and the importance of harmony between body and mind is often underestimated. During the 20th century, the term resilience has become established within psychology, which can also be described as an ability to deal with external stress factors and this is also sometimes referred to as a psychological immune system, which helps people to cope with attacks on the psyche and to fend them off. The power of this protective shield must always be considered individually because every person in the past has struggled with other problems that were more or weaker pronounced and the more robust people are, the more they can usually deal with stresses that affect the psyche. Resilience has not only been influenced by one's own experiences, but can also be consciously trained and this learning process is strongly dependent on how strong the psyche of the individual is and has a lot to do with own discoveries about possible weaknesses or strengths and is generally closely associated with personality development. The psychological immune system usually works so unconsciously that most do not even notice it and there are various causes that influence the effect such as moments from the past with which people have never properly dealt with and certain fears, experiences or other moments that have been stored deep in the subconscious can be counted to it. Since certain deep-seated memories are not easily retrieved, people cannot recognize them and therefore cannot easily work with reflection with themselves, which can lead to a limitation of the improvement of the mental immune system and also external factors often play a huge role.

Many thanks for stopping by and I hope you could learn something new about psychology! I captured these pictures with my Camera Sony Alpha 6000 plus 55-210 mm lens.
