Being in tune with our bodies can help us read and regulate our emotions—and read and respond to the emotions of others
If your heart has ever ached with longing, your stomach churned with anxiety or your face flushed with anger, you know emotions can be as much about physiology as psychology. In fact, your brain constantly monitors countless signals from within your body—pulse, respiration, digestion, muscle tension, temperature, bile production, etc.—to sort out how you are feeling and what may need fixing, whether it’s more or less food, or more or less of someone’s company.
Problems arise, however, when we become insensitive to, or misconstrue, those inner, or interoceptive, cues. For example, we may ignore a prickling or tingling down our spines when we meet someone who would do us harm. Or, we mistake a gnawing emptiness and lethargy for hunger when boredom or loneliness is the true culprit.
