Healing Notes

Migraines frequently accompany chronic stress, internal pressure, and perfectionistic thinking. Symbolically, they may represent excessive mental control and disconnection from rest or intuition.

Possible purpose or secondary gain: a reason not to have or do something, and a reason to be left alone.
