As you may already know, autoimmunity is a form of immune dysregulation. This occurs as a result of different factors and that includes emotional factors. Your emotional health is directly linked to your immune function, via the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis, which means that you can positively influence your physical health by optimizing your emotional state and your mindset. On the other hand, if you have unresolved emotional trauma, have a poor relationship with yourself, or have a negative mindset in general, you will be promoting ill health and you may not even realize that you are doing it!
