Morbus Crohn

Your gut is inflaming. Not superficially, not temporarily — but deeply, chronically, in flares that shake your entire system. Morbus Crohn attacks the intestinal wall in its full depth, from the mucosa to the outermost layer. Cramps, diarrhea, exhaustion, sometimes fever. Your digestive system — the organ responsible for taking in the world and processing it — is in a permanent state of alarm.

Medically, Morbus Crohn belongs to the chronic inflammatory bowel diseases. The immune system turns against the body's own tissue. From a psychosomatic perspective, a deeper question arises: why does your system attack itself? What is so unbearable about what you take in — from the world, from others, from yourself — that your body has decided to refuse the processing?

Morbus Crohn is not a digestive disorder. It is an uprising from within.
