Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Bacharelado em Psicologia) – Faculdade de Educação, Universidade Federal de Goiás, Goiânia, 2023.http://repositorio.bc.ufg.br/handle/ri/22931The human is a being of relationship, both with himself and with the world that surrounds him. Therefore, to understand the subject's illness process, it is necessary to be aware of their relationships and the way they are in Contact, observing their blockages and fluidity. Contact blockade, specifically retroflexion, can be a triggering factor for the physical body to become ill, whereas faced with an imbalance, the body seeks a way to demonstrate its need to restore homeostasis, presenting symptoms as a means of communicating their claim for a change.
