How we feel emotions

How we feel emotions

We all feel, experience and express the emotions in different ways. Let’s see what is the triple answer channel of emotions:

If we imagine a television with three channels, the first way in which we feel is our body, and it is what in psychology we call Physiological Channel: palpitations, abdominal discomfort, headache, tremors, excessive sweating, etc, are examples of how we feel the emotions in our body.

A second channel is our behavior, Motor Channel: block us out of anguish, cry, be in bad humor, avoid or flee from determined situations are another way of fear.

In third place, but not less important, are our thoughts, Cognitive Channel. In this channel, we tend to anticipate the worst, we stay just with the negative part of the situation, for example, having an accident… 

These three channels, unlike what can happen in a television, are perceived at the same time. That is to say, when we feel an emotion is like we are seeing the three channels at the same time. Imagine that you are watching a movie, a documentary and a tennis match at the same time and on the same television… Is because of that that sometimes, it is difficult to understand what is happening to us.
