they always refer to "i felt like i was kicked in the stomach" or "i got physically sick" or some other complaint that refers to their stomach? I had heard at one time (from my former psychiatrist) that the "sympathetic nervous system" is located in or close to your stomach?
Well.... Actually, if you really think about it, you "feel" most of your emotions in some part of the body. Fear, sadness, anger, etc. all are "felt" in the body.
Hence we end up with phrases like "heartache", "lump in my throat", "kicked in the stomach", etc.
I prescribe to the idea that emotion is our body having a physiological response to psychological processes. Physiological processes that prepare the body for some action. The word "emotion" is derived from the old language phrases "to move" or "to excite".
For example, primal feelings like fear and anger are based in the "Fight/Flight/Freeze" response and triggers physiological processes to prepare us for action. They trigger adrenaline, alter our cardio-respiratory system, tense muscles.... All so we are ready for an "attack" or to go on the attack. However, civilized ppl do not typically rely so much upon those primative behaviors (at least not in such a physically violent manner). We do not typically encounter the physical dangers this response is for, we simply experience the body getting ready and experience the "feelings". Now, to modern man we feel the emotions.
Just my opinion though. Be well.
