Systemic Solutions for Migraine Headaches

Systemic Coaching ... Systemic Coach Training

It's easier for both health professionals and most of their patients to use drugs as a substitute for change. Self-medication with alcohol or nicotine, or prescription anti-depressants and stimulants are easier than applying intelligence, focus and analytical skills to complex relationship situations. Drugs are also cheaper for the patient (in the short term) and more profitable for the health professionals.

But the long-term consequences and side-effects of psychoactive drugs are unacceptable to an increasing number of people.

What are Migraines?

Migraines are periodic severe headaches, with intense, throbbing, sometimes blinding pain, and nausea and vomiting; chills and sweating; tender scalp and face; light sensitivity and irritability; and a general feeling of illness. Some migraine headaches are ascribed to Stress Disorders, and others to overwork or "workaholism".

Migraine headaches may be preceded by visual patterns or flashes, illusory tastes or odors, dizziness or faintness or tingling or numbness in extremities.

Causes of Migraine Headaches

Migraine headaches may be triggered by stress (e.g. overwork, loud noises), by allergies, by excess dietary carbohydrates, iodine, and/or alcohol. However, the underlying cause of migraines often reflects the systemic dynamics of the migraine sufferer's family and workplace.

Managing Migraine Headaches with Drugs

Several prescription drugs can help people manage migraine headaches. Medications such as Sumatriptan (Imitrex) and ergotamine tartrate, can limit acute migraine pain. Propranolol can help prevent subsequent attacks. Other drugs prescribed for migraines are Phenelzine and Amitriptyline.

Some drugs have side effects, including weakness, skin rashes, irregular heartbeat, tight chest or throat, difficulty breathing or fainting. (Sumatriptan may react unpleasantly with ergotamine, a drug that is often used to relieve migraine headaches.) See Side Effects of Common Prescription Drugs

Incidence of Migraine Headaches

About three-quarters of all migraine sufferers have a family history of migraine. About two-thirds of all migraine victims are women. Migraine headaches also occur more often amongst people who set high, demanding standards for themselves.

Systemic Causes of Migraine

If an ancestor also suffers migraines, then a family knows how to care for a person suffering from severe headaches. Migraine is often perceived as a "family tradition" rather than as a genetic disease.

Like many other intermittent chronic diseases, migraine headaches offer undeniable reasons for "time off" and "time away" - people must stop and rest.

Systemic Diagnosis & Migraine

The relationship diagnosis of a person who suffers from migraine headaches often includes:.

  1. Family members are perceived as "too close" and "tightly bonded'. There is little or no subjective space. A person with migraines may say "My family is so close that I can hardly breathe".
  2. Family members (or work colleagues) are perceived as a burden that cannot be denied - except by disease.
  3. An ancestral migraine sufferer may be perceived as "inside" (identification) the person.
  4. The person controls a family (or workplace) through migraine headaches.
  5. A person feels trapped within one or more irreconcilable or existential conflicts

Systemic Relief of Migraine

Following relationship diagnosis, systemic coaching can provide long-lasting solutions for many people who suffer from migraine headaches. The overall solution sequence of our systemic coaching is:

  1. Clarify family relationships
  2. End entanglements and identity loss
  3. Resolve issues of guilt and shame
  4. Dissolve conflicts and objections about health
  5. Experience integrity
  6. Resolve relationship bonds
  7. Resolve emotional trauma

Pain Control

Resolving the pain of migraines may help create a space to establish long-term solutions. Soulwork health coaching includes drug-free methods of controlling pain.
