“the brain registers social pain in the same area of the brain and to the same degree as it does when it registers physical pain. We know from what we mentioned above that life-threatening situations trigger the amygdala and ‘limbic reactions’, and we also know that social pain and emotional pain can also trigger the same reactions to a lesser or greater degree.”
