Your brain controls your body via your nervous system.
Your brain also, per the author of “When the Body Says No” Gabor Mate, has a direct influence on your present emotional response to life.
He goes on, “Emotions interpret the world for us. They have a signal function telling us about our internal states as they are affected by input from the outside. Emotions are responses to present stimuli as filtered through the memory of past experiences, and they anticipate the future based on our perception of the past.
The circuits responsible for the secretion of important neurotransmitters (chemical messengers that allow the neurons (nerves) to communicate with each other throughout the body which shapes your everyday life and functions), essential for mood stability, arousal, motivation, and attention, are stimulated and become coordinated in the context of the child’s relationship with his caregivers.
In the parent-child interaction is established the child’s sense of the world, whether this is a world of love and acceptance, a world of neglectful indifference in which one must root out and scratch to have one’s needs satisfied or, worse a world of hostility where one must forever maintain an anxious hypervigilance.
Future relationships will have as their templates nerve circuits laid down in our relationships with our earliest caregivers.”
