Role of Emotions in Cellulite Manifestation

Have you been demoralized and taunted by anyone just because you have cellulite? What did you do? Probably, you just smiled or laughed if off as if nothing happened, but cried a river afterwards once alone. With cellulite, even the leering look from a passer-by can be interpreted by the brain as taunting. In general, the condition makes us self-conscious, sucks out our confidence, and lowers self-esteem.

There is a lot of cellulite treatments available in the market nowadays ranging from the natural to the medial, all focused on physical cellulite reduction. Unfortunately however, cellulite is a permanent condition and no amount of treatment can remove in the long run. So the destructive criticisms, explicit and implicit, only stops for a moment, and with the re-emergence of cellulite thus will it resume. More than just a physical condition, cellulite formation can sometimes be due to unstable emotion. So how can the emotional scars and trigger factors of cellulite be treated? One is through EFT or Emotional Freedom Technique. 

EFT is the technique of releasing emotional baggage with the utilization of psychotherapy and alternative intervention. The client is instructed to repeat affirmative phrases while the psychologist taps meridian points so the blockages can be removed and negative emotions will be released. 

Although critically tagged as pseudoscience, EFT has been instrumental in healing various psychophysical infirmities and emotional issues. 

To effectively employ EFT against cellulite, it is best to use a repetitive phrase that focuses more on the emotional symptom of the condition and not on the physical. For example, the underlying emotional reason for cellulite formation is self-punishment and wrath, while the physical is fat. Determining the emotional symptom of a physical infirmity is fairly difficult. It takes discernment and self-discovery to do this. While the patient is repeatedly saying the phrase loud, acupressure points will likewise be tapped to so negative emotions can be freely released. 

First person phrases like, “Even if I have cellulite in my body due to self-punishment and anger, it doesn’t make me less of a person. I love myself and I forgive those who have hurt me. Life is beautiful and I permit myself to enjoy it” can help the person to treat cellulite at its emotional source and heal the emotional scars it caused. 

Being realistic will help the person take control of the condition, instead of vice versa. When undergoing further medical cellulite treatments, especially those that involve surgery, being emotionally stable is of utmost importance. Like in liposuction, the physician necessitates the investigation of the psychological stability of the candidate, together with medical history and personal background checks. Cellulite shouldn’t be approached unilaterally; instead other non-physical factors need to be scrutinized also. Although cellulite doesn’t have any major risk in a person’s health, it can have an underlying emotional cause and effect. So stress free life is also an best cellulite treatment.
