Your Body Is Speaking
You are fighting for air. Not because there is none — but because your body refuses to let it in. The bronchi contract, the mucous membranes swell, and what should happen effortlessly becomes a struggle. Every breath costs effort. Every exhale gets stuck, as if someone opened the door just a crack and then pushed it shut again.
Medicine sees inflammation and overreaction. The psychosomatic perspective asks a different question: What has driven you so far into a corner that your body has decided to literally contract — as if wanting to take up as little space as possible?
Asthma is not just a breathing problem. It is a problem of being.
