Proposed definition of a self-healing factor - 2024.
51
The objective of this work is to propose a definition of a self-healing factor, based on both a literature review and on the discussions already underway as part of the “Self-healing project.” To begin, we define self-healing factors as the situations or objects capable of triggering self-healing capacities.Potential favorable triggers are listed as social factors leading to personal development; psychological and behavioral factors leading to personal well-being; and the therapeutic approach leading, through active listening and empathy, to a positive effect (such as the placebo effect) on the patient’s health.The situations or objects that can be defined as self-healing factors seem possibly to be associated with positive feelings and emotions mobilizing physiological pathways common to those of the system of emotions and those of the pathways of the placebo effect and psychological and behavioral effects. These self-healing factors have a positive homeostatic regulatory effect on the body, leading to recovery or an improvement in the state of health. The definition of a self-healing factor leads us to distinguish three other closely related concepts: a preventive factor (concerning an individual without symptoms or disease), a harmful factor (having a negative effect on the body), and a risk factor (having a negative effect on the body for an individual without symptoms or disease).Social representations also seem to be involved in the positive or negative emotional evaluation of a situation or an object, defined as a self-healing factor or a harmful factor.
