“Words give a feeling or an experience somewhere to live, so that it need no longer live everywhere within us.”

“The body is a baby's first vehicle of emotional registration, before they have any language with which to call a need a need, a feeling a feeling, an emotion an emotion. In an infant, these authors observe, emotion is first experienced as excitations (pain, tension, nausea, etc.) at the level of the internal organs (stomach, heart, etc.), the head, the musculature, and the skin. The body itself, albeit passively, becomes the organ of registration of our earliest emotions.”

“The process of harvesting our emotion from the deep, inaccessible reaches of our primitive brain is a crucial one indeed. Lecours and Bouchard (1997) refer to this as the process of mentalization—“mentalizing”—moving the messages of our emotional brain to our conscious, thinkable, speakable awareness.”
