Psychosomatic disorders
Psychosomatic disorders in children and adolescents – what does that mean?
Psychosomatic disorders manifest themselves through physical complaints such as stomach aches, headaches or sleep disorders that have no organic cause. These symptoms often arise from mental or emotional stress that children and young people are often unable to express directly.
How can we help?
In my work, I combine systemic therapy with creative and solution-oriented approaches to actively involve both the child or adolescent and their environment.
Family discussions: Involvement of parents and reflection of family dynamics.
Creative methods: painting, role playing or journaling to express feelings.
Solution-oriented work: strengthening resources and common coping strategies.
Systemic perspective: taking into account relationships and the social environment.
My goal is to uncover the emotional causes of the complaints, reduce stress and strengthen the child or young person in their development.
A notice:
Psychosomatic complaints should always be examined by a doctor to rule out organic causes.
