Healing Notes
Psoriasis often reflects chronic separation conflicts and repeated cycles of emotional disconnection. GNM describes it as an ongoing contact-separation loop in which the skin metaphorically thickens for protection. Louise Hay associates it with fear of being hurt, while Karol Truman emphasizes unresolved grief, rage, and self-protection. Spiritually, psoriasis symbolizes emotional armor and the longing for safe acceptance beneath it.
