Emotions
I was just watching an episode of Star Trek TNG and Geordi is talking to Data (an android for those unfamiliar) about anger. Data asks him to explain how it feels to be angry and Geordi says, I feel hostile, belligerent, combative. Data asks him, "Could you describe feeling angry without referring to other feelings?" Geordi says, "No, I guess I can't. I just feel angry." How many of you have been there? I know I spent most of my life there and it was so interesting to see this play out on a Sci Fi show. This is exactly why we do what we do in our groups...learn how to feel. Our emotions come from the body, not our vocabulary, our head. I can't tell you how many times someone in group has asked me, "what are you feeling" and I can't explain it, I can feel it though and I can tell them where I feel it and I can even describe what it feels like, I just may not have a word for it.
