Psychosomatic illnesses often are the reincarnation of cumulative resentment, deep disappointment and disillusionment repressed by the Lose/Win mentality.

People who are constantly repressing, not transcending feelings toward a higher meaning find that it affects the quality of their relationships with others.»
