Overview
En este nuevo libro, el doctor Goicoechea —neurólogo reconocido y experto en neurobiología del dolor— nos ofrece la explicación de por qué podemos sentirnos enfermos, aunque estemos realmente sanos, según el dictamen de los especialistas.
Percibimos el cuerpo que creemos tener. El organismo se autoorganiza y se adapta al entorno en el que le toca vivir. A golpe de error-ensayo-error, aprende a atribuir un valor positivo o negativo a cada acción en cada escenario y va tejiendo, de forma inconsciente, un relato que se proyecta en la pantalla de la conciencia como una película. Vivimos con la convicción de que esa película refleja directamente la realidad, externa e interna. Sin embargo, lo que recibimos en esa pantalla no siempre se ajusta a lo que en efecto sucede. Un cuerpo sano puede aparecer en el relato como enfermo. Es una película de ficción, pero para el padeciente (el espectador) revela una realidad interna, que no puede ver con sus propios ojos.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Myths, biases, fallacies about self-perception of health and sickness.
In this new book, doctor Goicoechea, renowned neurologist and expert in the neurobiology of pain, offers explanations as to why we can feel sick, even though we are actually healthy, according to an specialist’s opinion.
We perceive the body we think we have. The organism self-organizes and adapts to the environment it happens to live in. By trial-error-trial, it learns to assign a positive or negative value to each action in every scenario, and it unconsciously weaves a tale that projects in the screen of our consciousness as a movie. We exist convinced that this movie directly reflects reality, both external and internal. However, what we receive through this screen doesn’t always fit what is actually happening. A healthy body can appear sick in this plot. It is a fiction movie, but to the sufferer (the spectator), it reveals an internal reality that they can’t see with their own eyes.
