And the findings of the MRI showed the participant actually experienced emotional distress that lit up the same places in the brain alerted by physical injury and thus translated to what we know as pain. Since then, many other experiments have been conducted, and all had similar findings. According to Eisenberger, it goes back to evolution, because throughout history, we've depended on other people to nurture us, to help us gather food, to help provide protection, social relationship, sorry, keep us alive

And that's why we're always told to just be careful about what we expose ourselves to because it could be traumatic for our system. And I love your wish for us that we know when to say yes and when to say no. And I think we all have trepidation about stepping into unknown situations for fear of being uncomfortable or being rejected or not knowing who we're going to be in that moment and not being able to anticipate the behavior of others

It's in knowing what that underlying story, right, or stories that we are telling ourselves at the deepest level, at the soul level, what have been those sort of atrocities and crimes against our heart that maybe make it more fragile for certain situations

If you've gone through trauma and grief, it's like a new room in your house that you just have to know you just built and it's going to be there. And you can close the door, you can dress it up, you can do all sorts of things. But accepting change, that's fundamental. So the title of your swell really was so provocative for me because bones seem so permanent, and they are
