There is also a thing called "psychological reversal". The term was coin by
Dr. Roger Callahan...
Basically it just means that for some reason (can be a few) people can be 'reversed' over healing an issue.
So if you broke your toe and you were psychologically reversed, the belief is that the toe will NOT heal. No matter what the modality unless the revesal is corrected.
How this happens is up for debate, the bodies polarities being switched plays can sometimes be a cause. Dehydration can be also...
But try this one on.
A girl is raped. As is often the case, a part of her feels she played a role (this not about logic this is about emotion). If that is true she may feel that being attractive brought it on. This is not rare. So a part of her, to try to protect herself from having such a horrible experience again may make her less attractive. Her body/mind may gain weight in an effort to keep her safe from a potential rape in the future.
So a woman fights lossing weight, goes on diets and only fights a part of herself she is likely not aware exists.
That is just one of a million examples why the we might be 'psychologically reversed'.
Point is there is very very often psycological reversal with addictions, such as smoking, as well as depression, and degenerative disease (some people wonder if degenerative diseases are degenerative because the body will not try to heal due to psychological reversal).
Point is we can judge others for there struggles when we don't know anything about them or we can work on ourselves and offer support and kindness to those we see struggling.
