AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -For example, a woman who believes it is not acceptable to have violent feelings may suddenly feel numbness in her arms after becoming so angry that she wanted to hit someone. Instead of allowing herself to have violent thoughts about hitting someone, she experiences the physical symptom of numbness in her arms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Conversion disorder is a condition in which you have physical symptoms of a health problem but no injury or illness to explain them. For example, imagine taking a hard fall off your bike and then not being able to move your arm. But your arm isn’t injured. Neither is any other part of your body.
