What does that mean?

As that human being turns into a different human being, what is the mechanism of that?

Emotional activation, manipulating the clay, changing the electrical wires, changing the way that we react to things, changing the way that we perceive things, changing the way that our nervous system activates when we are in the presence of a girl, right?

Feel like an idiot.

That is what emotional processing is.

It is allowing your emotions to dissipate without changing the architecture of your brain.

Make sense?

If y'all are looking for Hassan slop, missed it, bruh.

Okay.

Can anxiety or unprocessed grief show up as physical pain?

I've been dealing with bodily aches and pains, especially when I'm distracting myself with my hobbies.

Absolutely.

Can it show up?

Not only can it show up, that's how it does show up.

Your brain and your body are connected.

You can look at studies of people with fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome, chronic pain disorders.

Emotional difficulties are a very strong risk factor for all of those things.

That's where we as doctors made a critical mistake.

We started talking in ways and treating patients as if that means it's all in their head.

It's not.
