I’m more inclined to think that we have psychosomatic symptoms, although not in the way that Freud thought, which was quite different, as he assumed we only get them through moral failures, for instance not being honest. But I think those who suffer from cardiac problems may have faced a lot of heartache, and those who suffer — as I once did — from a tight band around the throat, will have had that because their speech is disregarded and they are not taken seriously. Other kinds of problems may also have a specific location in the body, depending on what the meaning of the emotional blockage is to the one experiencing it.
