ITP (Immune Thrombocytopenia)

Your immune system has turned against your own blood. It is destroying platelets — the cells responsible for sealing wounds and stopping bleeds. Without enough platelets, your body loses its ability to repair itself. Bruises appear for no reason. Small injuries bleed longer than usual. Tiny red dots beneath the skin — petechiae — signal that your clotting system is under pressure.

Medically, ITP is an autoimmune condition: your own immune system is targeting your body's own structures. From a psychosomatic perspective a deeper question arises: Why does your system attack what holds you together? Why are you destroying, on a physical level, precisely the structures that ensure nothing flows out of you — that you stay sealed, whole, present to yourself?
