Ulcers are no more than fear – tremendous fear of “not being good enough”.
We fear not being good enough for a parent, we fear not being good enough for a boss.
We can’t stomach who we are.
We rip our guts apart trying to please others.
No matter how important our job is, our inner self-esteem is very low. We are afraid they will find our about us.
Stomach ulcers are often physically due to a specific virus but invariably occur at the same time when you are very stressed and the reality you are dealing with is becoming corrosive, wearing away at your coping mechanism.
You may be taking in too much acidity from others, or your feelings are eating away at you.
Aggravated by digestive juices, ulcers usually arise when you are under too much pressure, worried by financial or work situations, relationships, guilt or shame.
Worry is the key word here, it is almost as if the worry itself is eating you. All of this creates the perfect environment for the virus.
The ulcer creates a feeling of being raw and exposed, as if there is nowhere to hide. There may also be repressed aggression, a desire to get revenge or to lash out at someone.
There is a deep need to be soothed and nurtured, to return to the safety of being cared for.
