“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.”
― Teri Quatman, Essential Psychodynamic Psychotherapy: An Acquired Art
