A patient comes to see me for a loss of sensitivity of the right anterior thigh and a neuralgia of the right femoral-cutaneous nerve which have lasted for about 3 weeks.
On examination, the area of the small pelvis and the stomach were found to be working.
As a reminder, the stomach corresponds to pressure and the pelvis to the values of family, work and territory.
The search for active emotional memories reveals 2 tensions on the stomach, but which do not correspond, in time, to the appearance of the symptoms since they are much older.
On the other hand, if we look for the emotional symbols corresponding to these 2 areas, the patient's history corresponds perfectly.
It is important to know that paresthesia of the femoral-cutaneous nerve, which corresponds to the TFL muscle (tensor fascina lata), is always related to a story about a dog, because it is the symbolic area where the animal comes to seek its caresses. After having questioned the patient who does not have a dog, it appears that, 3 weeks before, 2 dogs of a neighbor had burst into his garden...
A mixture of anxiety about the dogs entering his house and anxiety about the neighbor's animals that he knows are at the origin of the non-conscious stress that is expressed in this area.
Concerning the skin insensitivity, it is when I explain the symbolism that he makes the link with his mother...
When one has a loss of sensitivity, it is to make oneself insensitive to the future (anterior part) of the relationship (thigh) that is imposed on him (right side) by the other.
His mother refuses to make the necessary arrangements for his independence, which thus blocks her son and forces him to stay close to her to accompany and help her. Unfortunately the son wants to move to another department and feels blocked. He is worried about his relationship with his mother and feels guilty about leaving her.
I saw his son 3 weeks later, as soon as I left the office, he had no more pain and his thigh sensitivity had returned.
