The Connection Between Fibromyalgia and Unresolved Emotional Issues

A major catastrophic event, such as war or a natural disaster, combines the previously mentioned factors of emotional and physical trauma that can contribute to the development of fibromyalgia. When a person has the opportunity to constructively process the episode and receives the best of care to heal from injuries sustained, then the biochemical aspect of the brain responds by “learning” resilience. On the other hand, as mentioned that the neurological pathways do not adapt to the profound changes that are brought about by tragedy, especially during childhood and early adolescence when development should occur at a rapid pace.
