Hashimoto's disease

According to Henry W. Wright

Possible spiritual roots

In his account of Hashimoto’s, Wright particularly identifies self-hatred, self-rejection and guilt, with fear, anxiety and stress as accompanying factors.

Background from the broader discussion

Fear, anxiety and stress also appear in the broader discussion of hypothyroidism.

Wright discusses thyroid inflammation and an autoimmune response as the physical part of his model.

In Wright’s model, conflict directed against oneself may be reflected in an autoimmune response against thyroid tissue.

Spiritual response

The path of response includes receiving God's love, rejecting self-condemnation, entrusting fear to God, and prayer for healing of identity and body.
