Psychotherapy: Psychotherapy can be helpful to find out what the stress is that is affecting your body in such a way that you feel the psychosomatic pain. This is likely to be more of an exploratory therapy. Some therapists however have approached this problem from more of a cognitive behavioral therapy approach. Both are viable approaches. If the pain is a constant pain from psychological trauma, a hypnotic approach maybe of great benefit. I am sure that other nontraditional approaches such as acupuncture may also have their place in the treatment of this condition. Relaxation exercises, yoga, meditation, spirituality, and developing a strong social support network can all be great ways to help you cope.
