Hello friends.

Given our circumstances, it seems interesting to embrace any option, tool or advice that allows us to cope our disease and our whole existence from a different point of view, always as positive as possible. It is also very important for caregivers and their active perspective.

The latest trends argue that, although we probably won’t like, body and mind are inseparable, and, especially when dealing with diseases, symptoms should not be considered enemies (however painful that may be) but ‘fellows’ that indicate that something may be wrong in our lives.

According to this, and although it is really hard, you need to sit down to listen quietly, because the body is always right. A revolutionary approach, if you want, and we should bring out the best from it. Fortunately we have some clues.

Talking about advances in medicine, we are now entering in the realm of somatic. It's just a matter of time, according to this approach, that skeptics accept most of the new scientific evidences which are to come.

Regarding movement disorders, our body reveals that we do not have so much control over ourselves as we wrongly feel, not only from the inside out but the opposite too.

Control and self-confidence are inseparable. Therefore, first of all everybody needs an acceptance of the real situation: we must accept that we have limitations, and so we are imperfect. This will surely help a lot: from this point, if we eliminate the appearances and build ourselves from the basis of truth, whatever it is, we will build strong foundations on which to grow a deep confidence in ourselves, and also in life; in essence, there we have the foundations of what should be our personal growth.
